The green sticker indicates that the school building is safe for running classes. It also cautioned parents against sending children to those schools left to be examined by the technicians.
The recommendation has come at the time when the schools which were closed following the April 25 quake were bracing to open from May 31.
Hari Lamsal, the Spokesperson of the MoE, shared that although the MoE had instructed the schools across the country to examine the buildings in the schools by the technicians and mark the building with red (danger), yellow (less danger) and green (normal) stickers, due to the lack of human resources, many schools were still left to be examined.
While some 600 schools in the Kathmandu Valley have undergone the scrutiny of the technicians and labeled accordingly, according to the District Education Office (DEO), Kathmandu, the same number of schools is left to be examined in the Valley.
In this backdrop, the Spokesperson of the MoE, Lamsal has suggested the parents not to send their children to such schools on safety grounds.
According to the government statistics, the April 25 quake and subsequent powerful aftershocks have caused damages to some 16,475 class rooms of 6,902 schools across the 49 quake-hit districts. Of them the number of private boarding schools stood at 700.
Spokesperson Lamsal asserted that it was safe to run the schools which were labeled with the 'green' sticker but warned those schools which are labeled with 'red' sticker or are left to be examined by the technicians not to run classes. He said action would be taken if such schools were found to be resuming the classes. RSS
