April 7: Trinity College has taken over the management of Triyog High School. The two educational institutions have agreed upon the handover the management of the school, according to a source close to the matter.  The source also informed that Trinity is also taking over the Triyog Higher Secondary School. Trinity International College has been acquiring educational institutions operated by others over the past few years. As per the source, Trinity has acquired Triyog at Rs 2.50 billion. The acquisition has taken place as per the new government rule which requires educational institutions that are running higher secondary levels to operate classes for secondary and lower levels. 

Triyog HSS which is operational since the last 30 years is running classes from play group to grade 12. Located at Dhapasi in Kathmandu, the educational institution is spread across 18.7 ropanies of land. The school is currently providing education to 1,300 students. The source said that Trinity invested such huge amount to acquire Triyog as the school has earned significant reputation over the past three decades, while also eying for the widespread land which is near to the ring road.

With the latest acquisition, Trinity International College will be running classes from primary to graduate level. Earlier it used to run classes from higher secondary to graduate levels. However, Triyog HSS Principal Usha Basnet denied the acquisition as a rumor.  “The school has not been sold. Only the management has been changed,” she claimed.  Situated at Dillibazar, Trinity last year bought KIST Medical College at around Rs 400 million. The college is running higher secondary, ‘A’ Level and graduate level classes.
