With the aim of promoting digital education in every school, Sitaram Koirala, Education Officer of the Metropolitan Education Department informed that in collaboration with Digital and Beyond, students from classes 4 to 9 have been taught coding. He said that this program will be implemented in all the schools of the metropolis this year.
