The government has decided to start the admission campaign from April 15 and classes from April 21. The Education Regulations 2078 BS stipulate that the new academic session will start from April 2 and classes from April 16.

However, five local levels in Karnali have decided to operate schools before the time specified by the central government. They have also decided not to give the holiday that the government started giving on Sundays.

They have decided not to give Sundays as well, using the basis that the constitution has given the local level the right to oversee education up to the secondary level.

According to the constitution of Nepal and the prevailing laws, the local level has the authority to manage basic and secondary education, and the municipality has decided to admit and operate schools according to its regular academic calendar.

The meeting of the Village Education Committee held on April 3 in Mudkechula Rural Municipality of Dolpa stated that it is difficult to implement the decision made by the government. The municipality has stated that it has taken this decision saying that it will not be possible to complete the curriculum as per the curriculum if Sunday is given as a holiday since it is a mountainous district. The rural municipality has stated that it will not implement both decisions, saying that the government's decision will make it difficult to complete the curriculum in the mountainous district due to cold weather and other reasons.

The Himalayan district has been given 45 days of holidays in Poush (15 days) and Magh (30 days), so it has been stated that it will not be possible to complete the curriculum of any class as per the prescribed annual curriculum if Sunday is given as a holiday. As per the decision of the Village Education Committee, all schools operating in the municipality have been instructed not to wait for Baisakh (15 days) to operate regular schools.

Similarly, Thuli Bheri Municipality of Dolpa has also decided to resume teaching and learning without implementing the government's decision. The Municipal Education Committee of the municipality has stated that teaching and learning will resume on Sunday in all community, private and religious schools operating in the municipality.

According to the acting chief administrative officer of the municipality, Dil Bahadur Rokaya, schools have been instructed to conduct a student enrollment campaign from Tuesday to Friday (April 8 to 11) and to conduct classes from April 13. Similarly, the Kaike rural municipality here has also decided to conduct schools on Sundays. According to the head of the education, youth and sports department, Govinda Gharti, there was a discussion on the implementation of the federal government's decision to grant two public holidays a week. However, he informed that it has been decided to conduct schools on Sundays as well.

The executive meeting of Kanakasundari rural municipality in Jumla has also stated that the school campaign has started from April 7. Similarly, the municipality has also decided not to give holidays on Sundays.

The decision not to give holidays on Sundays was made by the acting chairperson of the rural municipality, Premkali Budha, saying that giving two days off would not allow the annual curriculum to be completed. Similarly, Tatopani Rural Municipality of Jumla has also decided not to give Sunday holidays in all 29 community schools of the municipality.

The municipality will conduct a student enrollment campaign until April 14 and has started preparations to conduct regular classes from April 15, said Education Branch Chief Surat Bahadur Shahi.
