A single academic calendar makes it easy for teachers and students

According to the educational calendar of the municipality, Saraswati Basic School at Bhattadi has also opened from Sunday. Due to heavy snowfall, holidays were given from October to January in both these places before the corona epidemic. In Karnali's Himalayan districts of Mugu, Dolpa and Kalikot, educational sessions used to be conducted from February to October for almost a decade.

'The government made special arrangements for the educational calendar,' said Shankarprasad Upadhyay, head of the Tilagufa municipality in Kalikot Content Center said. "Until last year, we were not able to deliver books to all students, there were problems such as not enough books being printed, local levels not disbursing funds on time, businessmen not shipping on time and schools not purchasing textbooks on time," said Bhairava Babu Pant, the regional head of the center, "since the second week of Chait We started the necessary preparations, the books have reached all the schools within 2 weeks. According to him, the center had set a goal of distributing about 25,000 textbooks for classes 5 to 10. The center had listed 89 bookstores to distribute textbooks across the state.

In Humla, although some local levels have started teaching since February, Bhim Bahadur Karki, Head of Education Development and Coordination Unit Humla, said that they are trying to conduct the new academic session from April in an integrated manner. "From our side, textbooks, scholarships and other administrative work are done on the basis of Baisakh," he said Although there are some problems, he said that now the teaching is going smoothly.

'If there was no corona epidemic, education would have started from February, but now that there is a single calendar from Baisakh, it has become easier to conduct educational activities in a coordinated manner with the teachers of neighboring districts like Dailekh, Surkhet,' he said, 'when schools open in other districts, they are closed in other districts and when they are closed in other districts, There was also a problem with the necessary coordination between teachers and students.' According to him, Mahabai in Kalikot and Mahabu in Dailekh are neighbors, so students from one municipality are also studying in the other municipality. Deepa Hamal, the Acting Director of Education Development Directorate, Karnali Province, said that various educational and administrative problems were also solved when the educational session was conducted in an integrated manner.

'Even when the climate was different, the academic calendar was different,' she said, 'now it has become easier to conduct the educational activities of each other's districts in an integrated manner, to manage the textbooks, and to conduct programs including teacher training.' Campaigns have been conducted.
