The government is preparing strict action against irregularities in medical education, including the use of so-called “ghost faculty” at medical colleges, according to the secretariat of Education and Sports Minister Sasmit Pokharel.
Ghost faculty are faculty members who are reportedly presented as staff only during inspections of medical colleges. The ministry said it would closely monitor colleges accused of such practices and take action against those found responsible, following instructions from the education minister.
The move targets medical colleges accused of irregularities in the sector. The report was published by Republica.
