Kathmandu, April 17
The government is preparing to make all schools across the country publish their final examination results upto grade 9 in one week after the end of the lockdown. However, it has been revealed that most of the private schools in Province 2 are yet to conduct the exams.
In early April, the government had issued a notice directing the schools to complete the final examinations by March 18. Accordingly, most schools completed the exams by then and closed the classes while keeping the result publication pending. But the schools in Province 2 are yet to conduct the exams, according to Mahendra Mahato, an undersecretary at Education Division of the Provincial Ministry of Social Development.
The government-run community schools, however, have completed the examinations as per the directive.
The president of Private and Boarding Schools Organisation Nepal (PABSON) Province 2 Committee, Murari Prasad Sah, assures that the schools will take conduct the examinations when the government schedules the Secondary Education Examinations (SEE). He says the government notice did not give the schools sufficient time to prepare for the examinations.
