63% children in Parsa Primary schools Birgunj, June 25 (RSS): About 15,000 children of Parsa district are being deprived of basic and primary education despite the implementation of the basic and primary education programme launched nine years ago with the objective of providing all the children primary education. After the implementation of the basic and primary education programme in the fiscal year 2049-50, only 63 per cent of the children in Parsa district have been enrolled in the schools. According to programme coordinator Baldev Prasad Shaha, only 61,000 of the total 76,000 children of school going age have been enrolled in the schools due to lack of awareness among the guardian, financial difficulties and other compulsions. Twelve per cent of the children leave school due to economic, social and cultural compulsions without completing primary education while 20 per cent of the children repeat classes. Thirty-one per cent of the children failing in primary classes have been continuing classes in the district. Arrangements have been made for primary school incharge in the secondary and lower secondary schools in order to make improvements in the management and primary education while 11 resource centres with one resource person each have been set up for inspection and supervision of the primary schools in the district, according to district education officer Yogendra Bahadur Basnet. Under the basic and primary education programme, 185 two-room buildings, a 18-room office building, 59 toilets and 34 drinking water taps have been built and training programmes organised for the primary schools teachers for enhancement of education. Basnet is of the opinion that the objective of the basic and primary education programme can be achieved if the children development centres, alternative education, special education programme, evaluation system, education management, information and other programmes are launched effectively in the district. There are 27 secondary, 28 lower secondary and 196 primary schools in Parsa district which has one sub-metropolis and 82 villages development committees. Other Stories |
