Basnet does not have any of his children studying in the school.
However, Basnet said nobody in particular ransacked the school. “Some windowpanes were smashed during a scuffle,” he said. “We had gone to the school to meet the principal. But, some teachers did not let us meet her. Their misbehavior provoked us, which finally led to a minor brawl.”
Basnet, along with others, had gone to the school after parents of some students, who skipped outing programs on Thursday, were summoned by the school´s administration. The school had arranged field-visits to Godawari and Tribhuvan Park, Thankot, for science students.
Students said they skipped field-visits since they were merely picnics. However, the school maintained field-visits were part of the curriculum.
Khanal said a large number of students bunked off compulsory outing programs because they were not allowed to independently carry along cameras.
