The Kathmandu Metropolitan City has begun revoking the licenses of institutional schools that are registered but not in operation.

According to the local government, it has prepared to repeal licenses for such schools following monitoring and evaluation.

Deputy Mayor Sunita Dangol said that some of the alternative schools including Mahila Jyoti and James Namuna have been granted permission to relocate to new locations.

Similarly, as per the decision of the local government, 25 schools are undergoing a name change.

In addition, a task force led by Dr Suraj Raj Kafley has been formed to implement measures for improving community schools within the metropolis.

The taskforce will submit a report to the local government with recommendations on school operation standards, social and resource mapping, physical infrastructure, educational quality, and long-term education planning. (RSS)
