Nepalese Education Consultancies Protest New Regulations Impacting Overseas Study

Nepalese Education Consultancies Protest New Regulations Impacting Overseas Study

Nepal's education consultancy sector is protesting against new regulations that they claim could force smaller agencies to close and make overseas study less accessible. The regulations, which include a NPR 2.5 million security deposit and stricter licensing requirements, were approved by Nepal's Cabinet and aim to improve oversight and transparency following fraud investigations. The Education Consultancy Association of Nepal (ECAN) has submitted amendment proposals, arguing that the regulations disproportionately affect legitimate operators and were introduced without adequate consultation. The sector plays a crucial role in facilitating overseas education for Nepali students, with over 123,000 no-objection certificates issued in 2025 for study in countries like the US, Canada, and the UK.

Arkansas Workforce Challenge Scholarship Expands to Trade School Students, Increasing Financial Support

The Arkansas Workforce Challenge Scholarship program is set to expand its eligibility to include students attending trade schools, such as the Arkansas Welding Academy and the Northwest Technical Institute. This change, effective from the 2026-2027 school year, is part of the Arkansas ACCESS Act of 2025, which aims to increase the maximum scholarship amount from $800 to $3,000 per year. The initiative is part of Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders' higher education overhaul, following the approval of Amendment 103 in the 2024 general election. This amendment allows state lottery proceeds to fund scholarships for trade school students. The program is expected to award 4,400 scholarships totaling $13 million in fiscal 2027, a significant increase from the previous year.
