The Nepalese government on Thursday came up with a directive making local governments responsible for managing the teaching-learning activities at school level using virtual medium, or by bringing students and teachers together in small groups.

But local governments say the federal government did not consult with them before coming up with the directive.

The directive endorsed by the Ministry of Education tasks the local level to categorise the students in five different groups based on their access to virtual learning platforms first and provide them with the learning opportunities accordingly. The local governments say the federal government passed on the responsibilities to them after it failed to manage the teaching-learning activities on its own.
