Why it was formed
PABSON’s own account says private schools grew across Nepal before and after 2028 BS, and founders needed an organized body. The stated purpose is to guide, promote, and protect private schools, coordinate professional development, and safeguard the professional rights of founders, principals, teachers, staff, and students. It also says it helps coordinate educational and social activities of member schools.
How it is organized
PABSON is guided by its own constitution and describes itself as an umbrella organization for its member schools. It works through central, provincial, and district or local committees, plus sub-committees and departments. Those bodies are elected or nominated under the constitution.
How schools join
Membership is voluntary. General membership is open to privately managed schools, from playgroup through higher secondary, that are registered with the District Education Office or the local agency and operate under the rules of the Government of Nepal. A school applies at the PABSON district executive office, agrees to follow PABSON’s constitution, code of conduct, and guidelines, and pays the registration fee. Member schools also pay an annual renewal fee.
Joining PABSON does not replace government registration. A school must already be registered with the education authority before it can apply.
