Classes fail to run even two years after school is ready

By Our Correspondent, Humla, Sept. 5: Although physical infrastructure was constructed in a school of the district to run classes of multi-technical education two years ago, classes have not begun yet.

The building was constructed on the premises of Mansarobar Namuna Secondary School in the financial support of the Karnali Province government. But, no additional subjects related to technical stream have been introduced even after two years, Amar Bahadur Shahi, the headmaster of Mansarovar Model Secondary School, said.

According to Shahi, the building was constructed to start classes of engineering stream. But it cannot operate the course in lack of affiliation for that.

Dharmaraj Bohara, chief engineer of the Social Development Office, informed that four buildings were constructed at a cost of Rs.12,000,000. The total budget includes DPR preparation, provincial government grant and public volunteers. There are 11 rooms in those buildings. 

After the buildings were left useless, the school rented one building to the armed police and the other building to the Himali Bahira and Residential School for Mentally Retarded.

Only now, the school has been preparing to run the diploma progamme in engineering with the affiliation of CTEVT after it failed to run the programme from province level, headmaster Shahi said.
