Monitoring attendance for quality education

BAJURA: A new practice of monitoring attendance for qualitative education has started in Jagannath Rural Municipality of Bajura district.

According to Binod Gaire, administrative officer of the rural municipality, the new practice was introduced to reduce student absenteeism and increase quality of education. After receiving public complaints such as students not going to school, leaving before the end of school day, teachers not paying enough attention to their teaching technique, the rural municipality found it necessary to makes the changes.

"There is absolutely no sign of improvement in education, so we are monitoring it closely to make this practice effective," Gaire added.

According to the rural municipality's employment coordinator Lakshman Joshi, representatives will directly monitor students' progress and attendance for effective results.
