The Office of the Municipal Executive, Tokha Municipality, has issued a public notice regarding the determination of maximum monthly fees for institutional schools operating within its jurisdiction.
According to the decision of the Municipal Executive dated 2083/01/14, the new fee structure for the academic year 2083 has been set taking into account the inflation rate of Nepal Rastra Bank, the absence of fee revisions in the past three academic sessions, the recent rise in fuel prices, and school classification.
The municipality has warned that any school found charging fees exceeding the prescribed limits will face legal action under existing laws. Guardians have been requested to pay fees strictly based on this notice and to report violations to the municipality via email at tokhaeducation@gmail.com.
