Administration’s directive: to close schools in Gokarneshwor
KATHMANDU: SEPT. 1 – The administration office has directed to close the school after the Gokarneshwor Municipality of Kathmandu operated the school in its physical presence. The municipality had been operating the school unilaterally since Tuesday. But the district administration did not give permission.
Kathmandu Chief District Officer Kali Prasad Parajuli has directed to close the school after the municipality operated the school on its own decision. Parajuli informed that he had given instructions by telephoning the Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City Bidya Sundar Shakya and Chief of Gokarneshwor Municipality Santosh Chalise.
He said that Dakshinkali and Shankarapur Municipalities also demanded to open the school but they did not give permission. Parajuli said that the school could not be reopened immediately as there was a mixed infection rate with the Delta variant.

While community schools were open yesterday (Tuesday), most of the institutional schools were not open. Some schools, on the other hand, physically conducted classes for the students of class 8 ‚9‚ 10 ‚11‚ 12 without formal school uniforms by fulfilling the health criteria.
Some even conducted small classes by shifting, but community schools did not open because of vaccination centers. The Gokarneshwor Municipality was the first of the 753 municipalities in Nepal to run a school in the presence of students.
