Schools in Birgunj to remain closed for three days with rise in cold

Kathmandu: The Birgunj Metropolitan City has decided to halt classes of schools here for three days with an immoderate fall in temperature. In recent days, the district has seen thick fog.

The metropolis has granted a three-day winter holiday from January 8-10. Issuing a public notice, Birgunj Metropolitan City Education Officer Hari Raut shared the decision to give three days of winter holiday to public and private schools.

‘Given the adverse impact on students’ health due to the rising cold, the metropolis instructed all the concerned schools to halt classroom-based teaching and learning,’ said Raut.

However, the metropolis asked the schools to assign students so that they could continue their studies at home. The administrative work of the school would be continued during the holidays, he clarified.

Similarly, Parsagadhi Municipality has also issued a public notice on January 5 and decided to grant winter holiday to public and private schools from January 6 to January 14, said Education Section chief Dev Kumar Giri.
