April 6, 2012: The Department of Education is organizing the enrolment campaign in the government schools across the country from April 14.
The campaign has been brought to make the government's plan of providing primary education to all children within 2015 successful, said Director General of the Department, Mahashram Sharma.
He added that the government has decided to run the campaign to provide primary education to around 40,000 children below 14 years of age who have not been going to the school due to the various reasons.
As per the campaign, the children of school-going age would be encouraged to enroll in the government schools by conducting the door-to-door campaign throughout the month.
Similarly, the Department has the target of admitting a total of 6.7 million students in this academic session and increasing the admission rate to 97 per cent. It was 95.1 per cent last year.
Of the total percentage of school enrolments, some 4.6 million children will be admitted in class one to five and some 1.8 million in the lower secondary level (six-eight), said Sharma.
The government would run a special campaign targeting the various backward communities including the Satar, the Chepang, the Majhi, the Bote, the Danuwar, the Dhami, the Thami and others in Saptari, Siraha, Dhanusha, Mahottari, Sarlahi, Rautahut, Bara, Parsa, Kailali, Kanchanpur, Manang, Mustang, Tanahun and Kapilbastu, among other districts.
Various awareness programs such as mothers' meeting and street plays will be performed to encourage the parents to admit their children in the public schools across the country.
