Teachers of private schools might be the worst affected professionals from COVID-19 in Nepal. They have been jobless for months as the schools shut in April have not yet come into operation. When almost all other sectors have gradually returned to normalcy with the relaxation of restrictions, schools are not allowed to open in big cities like Kathmandu and Lalitpur. Although, local levels in the two districts have allowed schools to resume classes in physical presence, the district administration offices have issued notices stating that schools should not operate classes in physical presence of teachers and students.
For the past two years, after the COVID-19 hit the nation, many teachers of the private schools lost their job many were kept in hold in a condition that they would be hired again to work after the situation returned to normalcy. Those who are continuing their jobs are getting only half of their monthly pay.
Various government and private schools in Kathmandu Metropolitan City have started running classes in the physical presence of students and teachers amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
KATHMANDU, August 31: The Gokarneshwor Municipality in Kathmandu has resumed physical classes in schools in the area from Tuesday.
The municipality has granted permission to both the government and private schools to resume classes.
Issuing a press statement, the municipality has stated that the schools can be reopened from August 31 adopting proper COVID-19 safety protocols.
According to Manoj Kumar Dungana, spokesperson for the municipality and chairman of ward 8, the schools have been granted permission to resume physical classes adopting proper COVID-19 safety protocols.
Earlier, the private schools in the municipality had filed an application demanding permission to conduct physical classes for the students. These schools had also conducted discussions with guardians of students in the area before submitting an application to the municipal office.
“The schools will have to conduct classes on shifts maintaining proper social distancing if the classrooms are small for large numbers of students,” said spokesperson Dungana. “The municipality can order any schools to remain closed if the cases of COVID-19 in the area rise.”
Dungana also maintained that the Education Division of the MUnicipality will monitor schools time and time to check if they are adopting proper COVID-19 safety measures or not.
