In a significant development, the municipality of Bhojpur district has expanded internet service to 33 community schools. The move aims to provide technical education to students in these schools and improve the quality of education. Here are some key points regarding this expansion:
Agreement between Nepal Telecommunication Authority and Bhojpur Municipality
- An agreement has been made between the Nepal Telecommunication Authority and the Bhojpur Municipality to expand internet service in the community schools.
- The Authority has provided 20 Mbps non-dedicated service to each of the 33 schools.
Internet Service in the First and Second Year
- According to the agreement, in the first year, the Authority will provide internet service equivalent to NPR 2,438,000 at a rate of NPR 73,900 per school.
- In the second year, the education department of the municipality will provide internet service equivalent to NPR 1,800,000 at a rate of NPR 18,500 per school.
- This means that the municipality will take over the responsibility of providing internet service to the schools after the first year.
Benefits of Expanding Internet Service
- The expansion of internet service in community schools will make it easier for children to receive the latest technical education.
- This move will help bridge the digital divide and ensure that students in rural areas have access to the same opportunities as those in urban areas.
- The chairman of the municipality, Kiran Rai, has stated that the municipality has been working to improve the quality of education along with technical education.
The expansion of internet service in Bhojpur community schools is a positive step towards improving the quality of education and providing equal opportunities to all students. It is hoped that this initiative will inspire other municipalities and authorities to follow suit and invest in the education and future of their children.
