KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress, the main opposition party, has urged the government to immediately take necessary initiatives with the Australian government for rescuing more than 1,000 Nepali students. It is reported that the students, who went to Australia for higher studies, are now in an adverse situation after they realized that they have been enrolled at a college without necessary legal registration and affiliation.
Bishwa Prakash Sharma, spokesperson of the party in a press note today said that the party’s central office has directed the Nepali liaison committee in Australia to collect additional information about the students who are stranded in Australia and to carry out the required coordination in that regard.
“Thousands of Nepali students are pursuing higher studies in Australia and we are indebted to Australia for this. However, an educational institution there has been learnt to have admitted thousands of Nepali students without proper legal registration and affiliation, making their future uncertain,” the statement said.
The Nepali Congress has also drawn the attention of the Government of Nepal to take necessary action by collecting the required details of the educational consultancy sending the students to an unregistered college.
