[Nepal] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Teachers led by the Nepal Teachers Federation staged a peaceful protest in Kathmandu on April 7, 2025, wearing black masks to demand promulgation of the School Education Act. The demonstration was characterized as low-severity and silent in nature.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Educational sector protests in Nepal's capital typically remain localized and do not disrupt major trade flows or logistics operations.

Watch points

• Escalation of teacher protests beyond peaceful demonstrations that could affect government operations or urban mobility in Kathmandu
• Broader labor sector solidarity actions that might extend beyond the education system
