The Nepal Students' Union (NSU) has demanded an investigation into the activities of colleges running in Nepal with foreign affiliations. The Union alleges that such colleges are cheating in the name of foreign relations and that the government machinery has the protection of such activities.
On Wednesday, the team led by Bhupendrasingh Thebe, the central member of the Indian Union, met the Minister of Education, Science and Technology Raghuji Pant and submitted an attention letter, demanding to monitor and bring under the scope of regulation the foreign named, unstandardized and questionable institutions.
The union has drawn the attention of the ministry to immediately monitor such colleges and take action. On the one hand, the Union has expressed anger that the glorious universities of the country have been deprived of resources, means and rights, and on the other hand, foreign colleges are admitting arbitrary students and siphoning off the hard earned money of parents by charging arbitrary fees.
The union has said that this matter is not only about admission and fees, but also an organized attack on Nepal's national self-respect, educational sovereignty and the future generation. "Nepali currency is being migrated abroad, our own academic institutions are being insulted and a paper certificate that will not be recognized by any international body in the future is being sold as a 'world-class degree'," the memorandum submitted by the Union states.
Association has demanded the formation of a high-level judicial inquiry commission to investigate the legality, financial transactions and educational quality of all colleges opened in the name of foreign relations.
The association has also demanded that colleges affiliated to universities that are questionable and not ranked internationally should be blacklisted immediately and their affiliations should be revoked. The Navy Sangh has drawn the attention of Minister Pant to issue the Education Act immediately and to fulfill the commitment made by the government in the past for the reform of the education sector.
