]]>According to a report by UNESCO Institute of Statistics, the closure of educational institutes due to the pandemic has put an estimated 4.5 million girls at risk of missing school.
The closure of schools since March 2020 has proliferated the risk of thousands of girls never return to their schools.
“Such crises lead to long-lasting impacts on gender equality and education with irrevocable consequences on the most marginalized girls,” said the report.
“The risk of child labour, gender-based violence, early and forced marriage, and early and unintended adolescent pregnancy may increase, leading to many girls never returning to school.”
“Despite faring poorer in quality, girls’ access to education had increased significantly in the last two decades,” said Binay Kusiyait, Tribhuvan University professor.
“Though it is hard to say to what extent, the pandemic is surely taking away the achievement.”
The retention of children in school had been a challenge even before the pandemic. And the pandemic has further deteriorated the situation.
According to the government’s economic survey report for the FY 2020-21, over two-thirds of the students enrolled in Grade 1 drop out of the school by the time they reach Grade 12.
The report shows that the retention rate up to grade 12 in the current FY was 29.2 percent.

According to Deepak Sharma, Education Ministry Spokesperson, schools that fall in the red zone and dark yellow zone will be closed, either located in the local levels or districts.
Likewise, the schools and colleges in the yellow zone can resume physical classes with minimum presence of students. One-third of students can be allowed for the physical classes on a daily basis.
The local level schools in green zone can fully resume physical classes. However, the schools must adhere to the health protocols issued by the ‘School Operation Framework 2077’.
Moreover, the Ministry has categorized students into various groups based on their access to technology.
The categories include students who have no access to any technology, students who have access to television, students who have access to radio or FM, students who have access to computers but do not have internet, and those who have access to internet and information communication.
The schools in red and dark yellow zones are instructed to categorize their students and conduct classes accordingly.

]]>According to the National Education Board (NEB), 24 schools across Nepal have given ‘A’ and ‘A+’ grades to their students even without including the practical subjects.
Schools in all the three districts of Kathmandu Valley have granted ‘A’ and ‘A+’ grades to most of their students, while those in eight districts in the Terai region provided arbitrary marks.
Without further ado, a meeting of NEB on Thursday has decided to investigate all the 24 schools.
Thus, the results of the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) 2021, which were scheduled to be published within August 9, have been delayed.
For the academic year 2020/21, the NEB had made a new provision that the schools must provide a specific reason if they allot more than 80 marks for any student.
However, most of the private schools and some renowned government schools were found to be given marks to their students by violating the rules.
