Inside of the present connection of understudies traveling to another country for further studies, there exists an absence of solid checking systems from the legislature. To extension this hole, the Education Consultancy Association of Nepal (ECAN)—a non-benefit umbrella association that incorporates 301 training consultancies working in Nepal—has been putting forth direction and guiding to understudies and gatekeepers to help them in their choices.
Set up in 1997, ECAN has been working in an undeniable way since 2007, with the making of its own set of accepted rules to screen the exercises of its part associations. As such, through its part associations, ECAN has sent understudies to 60-63 nations. With a specific end goal to make more across the board mindfulness about prospects and difficulties of contemplating abroad, ECAN has likewise been arranging a yearly instructive reasonable since 2007.
“Since its inception, ECAN’s sole purpose has been to forbid its members from giving false promises and information to students. We wish to assist students in making their landing in a foreign country for education as smooth as possible,” said Kumar Karki, executive board member and the current secretary of ECAN. “Member consultancies must meet certain criteria. An example is that the consultancy must represent at least one college or university abroad, and we have a number of terms and conditions by which they must all abide,” Karki added
In order to make its work more effective and to give reliable information to students, ECAN has been working in conjunction with the Ministry of Education and foreign embassies and consulates. Aside from that, ECAN also has its own memorandum and regularly monitors how its member consultancies are working. “ECAN monitors the overall activities of its member consultancies. If they overcharge or try to deceive students, we punish them. Annually, we’ve been suspending four to five consultancies from our list of members,” said Rudra Prasad Regmi, manager secretariat of ECAN.
Referring to the various obstacles ECAN faces, Karki said, “It’s not easy to tie up with universities abroad, and we have to maintain strong business ethics. We must, therefore, regularly monitor our member consultancies.” In addition to its monitoring work, ECAN has also been working to strengthen its relationship between students and parents by giving training to counsellors as well as instructors of TOEFL, IELTS, etc.
