New academic session begins today

Kathmandu, April 28: The new academic session is beginning today, Baisakh 15. The school calendar was adjusted as per government's decision.

The government had reminded the schools to begin new academic session from today, breaking the hurried trend of school enrollment in the very beginning of Baisakh. There was neither adequate gap nor annual exam result prepared before initiating new session from the first week of Baisakh month. 

The government, therefore, asked the schools for adjusting some days for new session also taking into account the shortage of fuel supply. 

However, some local levels have already enrolled students.

Similarly, the government had asked the private schools to return children's fee if they imposed it ignoring rule. The schools were reminded the provision of a fee determination directive, 2072 so that they guardians would not be forced to pay more. 

It is worth noting that the Supreme Court had issued an order to not launch annual school enrolment if the result of the previous session was not published and original certificates prepared and handed over to students. A single bench of Justice Balkrishna Dhakal had issued the order. The academic session used to begin just a day after the New Year, Baisakh 2.

In the order, the schools were asked to ensure proper time arrangement of exam result, educational session and certificate distribution.  (RSS)
