KATHMANDU: The Janak Education Materials Centre Ltd ( JEMC) has announced that 80 percent of schools nationwide have received textbooks for the upcoming academic session.
The Centre’s data shows that as of March 26, a total of 17,000,000 school textbooks have been printed, with 80 percent of them already supplied to districts.
According to Anil Kumar Jha, General Manager of the Centre, the books have reached 75 out of the 77 districts. The distribution has commenced in Solukhumbu, Banke, and Bardiya today, with plans to start in Kailali tomorrow.
Distribution in other districts is scheduled to commence by April 10. In the Kathmandu Valley, distribution will begin after rural districts have been covered.
As Jha said, there has been a slight delay in the distribution due to local levels’ failure to allocate budgets to schools on time.
