Jitpur Simara Schools Found Admitting Students Beyond Approved Grades: Mayor Urges Parental Caution

Bara — Several institutional (boarding) schools operating within Jitpur Simara Sub-Metropolitan City have been found admitting students into grades beyond the officially approved levels, according to the municipality.

Earlier, on Chaitra 28, 2081 BS, the sub-metropolis had issued a public notice instructing all schools to operate and admit students only up to the approved grade levels. Despite this, it was found that some schools had enrolled students in higher grades without the necessary authorisation.

In response, Mayor Rajan Paudel has made a public appeal to parents, warning them about such unauthorised practices. Through a statement shared on social media, he revealed that some schools have even attempted to manipulate the regulatory process by uploading data into the IEMIS (Integrated Educational Management Information System) under the name of another authorised institution.

"Such activities are illegal," said Mayor Paudel, adding that the sub-metropolitan office has initiated an investigation and will take necessary action against schools found violating the rules.

Municipality's Appeal to Parents:

Before admitting their children, parents are strongly urged to verify whether the school has proper approval for the intended grade level. If a child has already been enrolled in an unauthorised grade, the municipality requests parents to immediately transfer the student to a legally recognised institution.

The list of approved grade levels for each school has already been publicly shared by the sub-metropolitan office. Mayor Paudel urged parents to take the matter seriously to safeguard their children's future.

The municipality has reiterated its commitment to ensuring that educational institutions operate within legal boundaries and maintain transparency in academic practices.
