Teachers decide to enroll children at community schools

DAMAULI: The school principals, teachers and employees at Aanbukhaireni Rural Municipality of Tanahun district have decided to admit their children to community schools.

A meeting of the school principals took a decision that they must enroll their wards at the community schools.

Chief of education section at rural municipality, Nirmala Kunwar, informed that the decision was made in a bid to increase quality education and spread positive message. “The decision would be enforced from coming academic session,” she said.

The people’s representatives in rural municipality had launched a campaign for community school enrolment since last year. The recent decision of the principals and teachers is expected to make the drive successful.

Rural municipality Chair Shukra Chuman observed that teachers’ cooperation to their campaign had encouraged them. The people’s representatives joined the bandwagon by admitting their children at community since last academic session, he added. “It is a historic initiative,” he argued.

Chuman further said an education transformation drive was in place at local levels so that it would contribute to quality education at community schools.

In addition to this, management of physical infrastructures, fulfillment of teachers’ quota and capacity building of teachers are other priorities.

There are 35 community schools from six wards of Ambukhaireni rural municipality. Some 400 students are receiving education there.

The rural municipality has also planned to provide shuttle service on grant for the schools.
