It has been demanded to start the academic session from February 1 as there is a problem in teaching and learning in the Himalayan districts in the current academic session. It has been demanded to start the academic session from the 1st of February last year, saying that the schools of the Himalayan districts have been affected by the academic session from the month of Baisakh.

Ramesh Malla, Head of Education Development and Coordination Unit Jumla, has sent a letter to Education and Human Resource Development Center Sanothimi Bhaktapur for revision of the academic session. He said that the revision of the academic session has been requested based on the conclusions of the discussion with the education stakeholders, secondary school principals and public representatives in the district. 

The meeting of the principals of the secondary level schools held on the 20th of December also came to the conclusion that the academic session of the Himalayan districts should be revised. Before this, in the month of Baisakh, there was a discussion with the stakeholders of education about the problems caused by the current academic session. Their opinion was that the academic session should have started from February 1. 

There were eight local level heads, heads of education youth and sports branches. Locals have said that the academic session is causing difficulties in teaching and educational activities in the Himalayan region including Jumla.

Keeping this in mind, a letter has been sent for the implementation of the decision. 

unit chief Malla said that based on the decision taken by the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development Center, a decision can be reached as to when the academic session will start in Jumla.
