Schools in Nepal demand reopening amid declining cases

{O/C} Schools across Nepal demanded physical classes be allowed as the COVID conundrum there is showing signs of abating.

Teachers have complained that only a small part of the Nepali population living in urban parts of the Himalayan country can learn via the Internet while the lion's share of students have been deprived of the chance to learn ever since face-to-face classes were banned due to a spate of infections reported earlier because not every student has access to the Internet.


The number of Omicron-propelled COVID cases has peaked in the last few weeks, but was declining in the past few days.


The President of the Private and Boarding Schools Organisation in Nepal said schools are poised to reopen and students are eager to go back to school, so it's unreasonable to continue banning face-to-face classes.


Meanwhile, students across the country said their prayers at the temple of a Hindu goddess yesterday as the country marked the arrival of the spring season.
