In pictures: HISSAN educational fair

By Keshab Gurung, Kathmandu, June 24: The educational fair (Edufair) hosted by the Higher Secondary Schools Association of Nepal (HISSAN) is underway at Bhrikutimandap.

With the motto 'Excellent Education in Nepal', the three-day fair is providing information about educational institutions and courses targeting students who have appeared in the higher secondary exams and are awaiting results.

It may be noted that the four-day Edufair had been shut down on the first day by the Kathmandu Metropolitan City on June 15. The fair was deemed illegal by KMC Mayor Balendra Shah and thus asked the municipal police to shut it down.     

Along with the interim order of Wednesday, the fair resumed on Friday.     

More than 75 academic institutions including Kathmandu University, Pokhara University, Purbanchal University, Midwestern University, and Centre for Technical Education and Vocational Training have been participating in the fair expected to be visited by more than two hundred thousand people.
