The Ministry of Education published the admission policy for government secondary schools for the 2024 academic year on Sunday, saying students will be admitted through a digital lottery. The Secondary and Higher Education Division will fix the schedule for the digital lottery, while the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education will run the lottery centrally. According to the national education policy, a first grader must be admitted at the age of six years. Children of staff members in the Secondary and Higher Education Division will have 2 percent of seats reserved for them in government schools in metropolitan areas, districts, and divisions. In case the number of applicants for the reserved seats surpasses the total number of seats, a lottery will be used to admit the students.
