THE SCHOOL

AU NEPAL

 

In Nepal, school is compulsory from ages 6 to 11.

​

The primary school contains 5 levels. Classes do not work by age butby level because some students sometimes take 10 years to obtain level 5.

​

Children generally go to school from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

There is no canteen. The children have lunchtime recess.

​

The start of the school year takes place in April.

They then have holidays at the time of festivals like in October-November with the Dashain festival, the most famous festival in Nepal.

​

The students wearuniformsbut not all students have the chance to wear one because it represents a cost for families.

​

In public schools, the uniform consists of navy blue pants, skirt and sweater, as well as a sky blue shirt.
