Schools releasing annual exam results using technology

Kathmandu - With the lockdown continued for over a month, the educational institutions have faced tough time to conduct their activities. The schools are not able to publish annual results though it is already the third week of Baisakh, the first month of the new academic year. If it was the normal time, jubilation of students could be witnessed with the operation of new academic year. In a bid to the relief and inspiration to the students in face of crisis, some local levels have directed the community and institutional schools to publish annual results using technology.

The Machhapuchchhre rural municipality has directed all schools in it to immediately publish results. With this direction, some schools published results while some are in haste for it. The rural municipality said the schools could adopt new way of releasing the annual result as via Facebook page of the school, Messenger, telephone, FM radio, email, etc. The Nishpakshya Secondary School at Rivan of Ward No 5 in Machhapuchchhre rural municipality released the annual result via Facebook page of the school and the notice on its notice board, said Principal Durga Bahadur Rawat. "As the result was sent via Messenger, students and their guardians got the result.

Utilizing technology, the result is shared to all students and guardians," he added. He further hoped that with this, the uncertainty facing the students has ended. There are 43 community and seven institutional schools in this rural municipality. It is expected that all schools will publish result in four to five days.

Deputy chief of the rural municipality, Krishna Kumari Duwadi, said the schools were directed to continue link with students so that they would not be deviated from reading habit. After the publication of result, the students can gather books from their elder sister and brothers and begin reading at home.
