Two schools in the nearest neighbourhood are being merged, said District Education Officer Surendra Raj Parajuli.
Likewise, the grade level of 10 other community schools in the district has been decreased. The grade level had to be decreased as the schools did not have students at all in the concerned Grade or had very few students, the Committee Chair and Local Development Officer Bishnu Prasad Sharma said.
