In a circular sent to all local level governments through the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the government has stressed enforcement of the April 5 (Chaitra 22) directive to withdraw admission and other fees being unlawfully charged by private schools. It may be noted that the Nepal government’s Council of Ministers had decided to run the new academic session from upcoming Baisakh 15, due to short supply of fuel. The Constitution has also entrusted the local level governments with the right to operate and monitor schools. The Education Ministry has taken the initiative to enforce the Supreme Court’s decision to not enroll students before the new academic session. The government has put forward the legal process to withdraw admission fee charged against the existing laws and all other fees except those determined by the Private School Fee Determination Standards Directive, 2072 BS. Before this, the educational session had been operational since Baisakh 2 every year.
