The Ministry of Education (MoE) has allocated Rs 380 million to the Non-Formal Education Centre (NFEC), to conduct the classes for the neo literates who want to continue their studies."The new literates who are willing to join formal education system after being literate are to be benefitted through this campaign," said Bishnu Prasad Mishra, the NFEC director.
The post literacy campaign starting from next week, would be effective in 20 districts this fiscal year in Nuwakot, Tanahun and Baglung districts.
The classes would be conducted by the Community Learning Centers (CLC) occupying 10 neo-literates in each of the CLCs, according to NFEC director Mishra.
The NFEC issued a report in September claiming that the literacy was achieved among 92 percent of the targeted age group of 15-60 years.
