The Forum of Institutional School Managers (FISM) recently formed a 13-member ad hoc committee to develop cooperation among institutionalised schools located in Koteshwor area of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City-35.

The committee is headed by Raj Kumar Rai of the Grammar public gigher secondary school. Addressing a press meet today, Raj Kumar Rai, coordinator of the FISM, said: “To establish coordination among the institutionalised schools, we had organised a gathering on March 13 and brought together 52 schools of the Koteshwor area.” He added that the ad hoc committee was formed to bring all the institutionalised schools together and solve the issues related to the schools.
