The KMC will also provide Rs 1,000 per month extra as motivation allowance on the monthly facility provided by the government in a bid to make the head teachers at community schools more responsible and motivated.
Similarly, Moral Education subjects would be taught from Class 4 at each school in the metropolis. Continuity would be given to teaching and learning using the Nepal Bhasa curriculum as a local subject from pre-primary level to Class 8 at all schools.
Arrangements will also be made to run programs through the Nepal Bhasa Promotion Committee for the development and promotion of the Nepal Bhasa language.
It is stated in the Policies and Programs document that KMC shall also set up at least one well-facilitated and technology-enhanced library at every ward in the metropolis aimed at increasing access of all to the use of the library.
