Mandatory Submission of Scholarship Details for Academic Session 2082
Kathmandu Metropolitan City has requested all schools to submit mandatory scholarship details for the academic session 2082. Chapter 10 of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City School Education Management Regulation, 2074 outlines provisions related to scholarships and free education.
Previous Year Data and Current Requirement
Based on this legal provision, over 13,000 students from 465 schools received various types of scholarships in the 2080 academic session up to grade 10. In the 2081 session, more than 19,000 students received scholarships.
To facilitate the process this year as well, a Scholarship Entry System has been developed. All schools must submit complete details of scholarships provided to students up to grade 10 by clicking on the given link and logging in using the username and password sent via email and SMS by 2082.02.01.
Legal Action for Non-Compliance
Failure to submit the data within the specified deadline will result in revocation of the school’s permission or approval under Sections 56 and 57 of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City Education Act, 2075. Legal action will also be initiated in accordance with this Act and other prevailing laws.
Inclusive Distribution Requirement
Institutional schools operating under Kathmandu Metropolitan City are required to allocate scholarships to students from grades 1 to 10 on an inclusive basis. Priority must be given to:
-
Academically gifted students
-
Economically disadvantaged and helpless children
-
Students with disabilities
-
Girls
-
Dalits
-
Indigenous communities
-
Victims of violence
-
Children from martyr families
The total number of students receiving scholarships must not be less than 10 percent of the total number of enrolled students.
Notice Publication and Distribution Timeline
Schools must publish a notice on their information board and collect applications from eligible students and their guardians. The scholarship distribution should be arranged within the first week of Jestha, 2082.
Committee-Based Distribution Only
Scholarships must only be distributed based on the decision of the Scholarship Selection Committee formed under Sub-section (3) of Section 50 of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City Education Act, 2075. Only the list approved by the committee will be valid. Any other distribution will be subject to legal action.
Once all data is received, the scholarship list will be made public.
The significance of lawmaking is confirmed only through its effective implementation. Thousands of students have received scholarships through such implementation. Hence, Kathmandu Metropolitan City reiterates its serious commitment to both making and enforcing the law.
