The Ministry of Education and Sports in Nepal committed NPR 6.54 billion to improve facilities at 109 public schools across the country.
Minister Sasmit Pokharel announced the funding will support structural improvements at schools with high student populations, over 2,000 each, and strong academic performance. The Ministry initially distributed NPR 5.34 billion to 89 schools to begin building standardized, three-story academic blocks.
Each block will include 12 classrooms, labs, and libraries, with an average cost of NPR 60 million per school. Pokharel stated the project addresses imbalances in the public school system by focusing on schools with large student numbers. The government intends to extend these upgrades to more community schools in Nepal in the future.
