Janasewa Secondary School

Governance of Janasewa Secondary School

Janasewa Secondary School, nestled in Panga, Kirtipur municipality, ward number 27, is situated at 27N 40' 43.4" North Latitude and 85N 16' 39.4" East Longitude. The school occupies a spot on arable land, making it a part of the thriving agrarian setting of Nepal.

As a completely government-run community school, it's guaranteed that all its endeavors align with governing principles. This institutional faithfulness extends to improving equitable access, enhancing educational quality, and cultivating internal competence in schools.

The introduction of the basic and primary education program in the second fiscal year (FY 2056/057) across 12 districts was a landmark move towards boosting educational access and quality. Based on the success of this pilot initiative, the program was extended nationwide from FY 2058/059.

Subsequent amendments to the Education Act and Education Regulations led to the introduction of School Based Scheme, Village Education Scheme, and District Education Scheme. These decentralized educational initiatives underscored the significance of school development. Education for All Program (2061-2066), School Sector Improvement Program (2066-2072 BS), and School Development Plan (2073-2080 BS) continued this trend.

Leveraging these educational programs, Janasewa Secondary School has taken strides towards creating and implementing a plan that aligns with school development policy arrangements. This plan aims to facilitate stakeholder participation and capacity building, and emphasize local community involvement in planning, implementing, and resource mobilization.

Janasewa Secondary School aligns its efforts with international commitments, such as the Universal Declaration of Education for All 1990 and Incheon Declaration 2015. The Sustainable Development Goal 2016-2030 Development Goal No. 4 is another key commitment that guides the school's actions. The Government of Nepal is dedicated to ensuring equitable and inclusive quality education for all and promoting life-long learning opportunities. The school sector development plan for the years 2016-2023 has been the prime instrument for achieving these sustainable development goals within the year 2030.

According to the Constitution of Nepal (2072), the administrative responsibility for school education from early childhood education to class 12 lies at the local level. This principle is reinforced by the Local Government Operation Act of 2074, which grants municipalities the right to formulate, implement, monitor, and evaluate plans for all types of education, including basic and secondary. This Act also extends support for the creation and implementation of educational plans related to school education. Accordingly, plans for all aspects of Janasewa Secondary School are carried forward based on purpose-prepared manuals.
