A meeting of the education committee of Tikapur Municipality on Wednesday decided to carry out the annual assessment of students based on internal exams, attendance, homework, discipline, and participation in extra-curricular activities. The decision was taken as the new academic year has to be started from the month of Asar in the lunar calendar according to the federal government's decision, spokesperson of the municipality Dirgha Bahadur Thagunna said.
