International universities eye Nepal’s high student mobility

With more than half of its population under the age of 25, Nepal has emerged as one of the highest senders of international students in the world. The potential attracted representatives from 16 universities across major study destinations – including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and Australia – to visit the Himalayan country as part of a delegation led by Acumen under its Nepal Rising initiative, writes Abhishek Nair for The PIE News.

According to Acumen, Nepal Rising helped the universities gain deeper insights into the South Asian country’s K-12 market, transnational education space and government regulations in the education sector, and also encouraged engagement with over 35 Nepali counsellors and agents.

Countries like the US and the UK see massive potential in Nepal amid high visa approval rates in recent years.
