The High-Level Plus Two Monitoring Committee today submitted its report to the Central Fee Fixation Committee under the Department of Education.
The report states that most of the higher secondary schools in Kathmandu have been creating unnecessary administrative posts, causing financial burden on students.
Guardian Association of Nepal president Suprabhat Bhandari, a member of the monitoring panel, said, “The committee has found irregularities in Plus Two colleges across the country — teachers and staff are underpaid and they give little heed to infrastructure development”.
“Many colleges in Kathmandu district have created unnecessary positions.”
Bhandari went on to add that of the total Plus Two schools visited, seven did not have School Management Committee (SMC) while 13 schools had not renewed the tenure of SMCs.
The 11-member panel was formed under then director of the DoE, Dilli Ram Rimal, on July 10, to monitor fees, quality of education, facilities provided to students and teachers, infrastructure and managerial aspects in Plus Two schools.
He informed the CFFC today decided to implement recommendations of the sub-committee and form a 13-member technical panel under the coordination of the DoE director to find out indicators to determine fee ceiling of Plus Two schools.
The CFFC also decided to draw attention of all district education offices to publicise their fee ceiling by mid-January.
According to the sixth amendment to the Education Regulation-2010, district education offices across the country have to publish a notice with fee ceiling for different categories of schools on the recommendation of District Fee Fixation Committee three months before new academic session begins.
