Why the Nepali education secretary is an idiot

Suresh Man Shrestha, the Nepali secretary of education, is a fool. He is ignorant of the way technology works, education works, young people work, and social dynamics in today's Nepal works. He is setting back the education sector in Nepal.  I say that all on one of his comments to this (equally stupid) Himalayan Times article:

Suresh Man Shrestha, secretary, Ministry of Education, also noted that due to the use of electronic gadgets such as mobile phones, dropout rate of school students is increasing. He said that after chatting over mobile phone, some boys and girls in Lamjung district left their studies and ran away from home for marriage recently.

He said, “The use of gadgets such as mobile phone, motorbikes and other things have been increasing school students’ dropout rate therefore it should be banned within schools by preparing directives.”
