Maoist student wing closes private schools across the country

Institutional schools across the country have remained closed Sunday at the call of Unified CPN (Maoist)’s student wing All Nepal National Independent Students Revolutionary (ANNISU-R).

ANNISU-R called the closure of schools demanding the withdrawal of fee-hikes implemented by the private schools from this academic session. They had shut the accounts section of the private schools since last week. Millions of students studying in about 8000 institutional schools across the country have been affected due to the forced closure of the schools.
School owners have decided to close the schools as per the call of ANNISU-R for the safety of the students and the school.
ANNISU-R had been attacking on school buses and physical assets of some private schools in the past few days.
The umbrella organisations of the institutional schools, PABSON and N-PABSON directed the schools affiliated to them not to open the schools and run school buses on Sunday`
