Sun Apr 27 10:39:05 UTC 2025: **Nepal Teacher Protests Turn Violent, Leaving Several Injured**
KATHMANDU, Nepal—At least seven teachers and several police officers were injured on Sunday in Kathmandu during clashes between protesters and law enforcement. Thousands of teachers, demonstrating for over a month for education reforms and pay increases, attempted to breach security barriers in the Nayabaneshwor area. Police responded with baton charges and water cannons to disperse the crowd. The teachers are demanding the passage of the School Education Bill and have intensified their protests following the resignation of the Education Minister last week due to her failure to address their concerns. The unrest highlights growing tensions over education policy and teacher compensation in Nepal.
