KATHMANDU, Nov 19: 'Hello Student Program' is going to be launched in Province 1. The Provincial Ministry of Social Development has been making preparations to launch the program in order to teach the students by telephone as the situation is not conducive for in-person learning at schools.
The program is to be launched with an objective of giving continuity to teaching learning activities targeting the students who are not able to join online classes as well as students of the coronavirus-hit areas.
Director at the Provincial Education Directorate, Rajendra Budhathoki, said that preparations have been made to launch the programme in 10 local units of six districts in the first phase.
