Government Cracks Down on Unlicensed Foreign Academic Programs

The Ministry of Education and Sports has issued a stern warning to educational institutions operating foreign academic programs, including A-Levels, CBSE, and IBDP, without official permission. This decisive action follows the recent Cabinet approval of the 'Foreign Educational Programs (Operation and Regulation) Regulations, 2083'. The new regulations are designed to significantly enhance the quality and effective oversight of these foreign-affiliated educational programs. The government's move signifies a strengthened commitment to regulatory enforcement and ensuring high educational standards across the nation. This long-term focus aims to solidify the rule of law within the education sector, benefiting Nepali students and promoting national academic integrity.
