Inaugural Schools Mission – Pokhara, Nepal

What makes Nepal’s most beautiful city an important market for your institution?

While Pokhara might be Nepal’s second city, it has consistently managed to surprise the country with its rapid economic growth. In just 50 years, Pokhara has transformed itself from one of Nepal’s poorest urban areas to the most prosperous and poverty-free city in the country having overtaken Kathmandu consistently since 2001. With this has also come an increased awareness about education and the opportunities it could open. The city’s growing number of A-Level schools makes it a high potential market for UG recruitment into international higher education. As one of Nepal’s major recruitment areas of the British Gurkhas, Pokhara has strong ties with Britain and is a natural choice for a schools’ mission programme, organised by SIEM Nepal on 15 and 16 December 2014.

This inaugural schools mission will comprise visits to three A-level schools in Pokhara followed by a visit to an NCC education centre where we will meet students with graduate certificates potentially looking for a top-up degree.Organised just prior to the February exhibitions in Kathmandu and Pokhara, this mission will give you the opportunity to explore and scope one of Nepal’s primary markets and create an interest and buzz around your institution for the exhibition.
