KATHMANDU: The future of hundreds of Nepali students enrolled at an Australia-based technical institution has hung in the balance as the country’s regulator for vocational and training sector deregistered the college after it failed to comply with the existing education rules, a report in the Kathmandu Post said.

Around 90 percent of the 1,000 students at Australian Institute of Business and Technology are from Nepal.

The Australian Skills Quality and Authority, the regulatory body, on Tuesday revoked the vocational and training accreditation of the technical institute, the report says.
