KATHMANDU, April 28: The new academic session is beginning today, Baisakh 15. The school calendar was adjusted as per the government's decision.
The government had reminded the schools to begin the new academic session from today, breaking the hurried trend of school enrollment at the very beginning of Baisakh. There was neither an adequate gap nor an annual exam result prepared before initiating the new session from the first week of the Baisakh month.

The government, therefore, asked the schools to adjust some days for the new session, also taking into account the shortage of fuel supply.
However, some local levels have already enrolled students.
Similarly, the government had asked the private schools to return the children's fees if they imposed them, ignoring the rule. The schools were reminded of the provision of a fee determination directive, 2072 BS, so that their guardians would not be forced to pay more.
It is worth noting that the Supreme Court had issued an order not to launch the annual school enrolment if the result of the previous session was not published and original certificates were not prepared and handed over to students. A single bench of Justice Balkrishna Dhakal had issued the order. The academic session used to begin just a day after the New Year, Baisakh 2.
In the order, the schools were asked to ensure proper time arrangement of exam results, educational session and certificate distribution.
