In an open letter to the governments of the Asia Pacific region released on the closing day of the three day conference, it said that young people faced significant barriers to sexual and reproductive information, resources and services and needed age-appropriate comprehensive sexuality education that is evidence-based and non-judgemental.

SLC is the most excepted examination for Nepalese to get release from School life. SLC means School Leaving Certificate examination. As a student, learning about results are the most anxious moments in life. When the result is of SLC examinations, the issue becomes more serious.
How would anyone feel, if s/he have to wait for weeks to learn about his/her results once it is published. It would be an awkward feeling to imagine you in this situation, but this had been normal practice in Nepal for decades. Waiting for your results had been the most impatient experience for students in remote parts of Nepal. They either had to track for two-three days to the reach suburb cities and get hold of state-run vernacular daily Gorkhapatra which was authorized to publish the results to learn about their fate or wait and curse their misfortune. This is purely a case of communication divide between haves and have-not’s.
