March 1: Education consultancies have claimed that they are making efforts to solve the problems faced by Nepali students enrolled at the Australian Institute of Business and Technology (AIBT).

The educational consultancies including Education Consultancy Association of Nepal (ECAN),  Free Educational Consultancies Organisation of Nepal (FECON), IERIN (International Education Representative Initiative of Nepal),  and Nepali Association of Australia Education Representatives (NAAER) expressed their sincere efforts to solve the problems after the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) on February 19 scrapped the registration of AIBT’s diploma in nursing programme stating that it was not accredited by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC).

The stakeholders concerned said they have even urged the Nepal government to resolve the problem, reads a press statement issued by the umbrella organisations.

Organising a press meet on Wednesday, February 28, in the capital, ECAN’s President Bishnu Hari Pandey said that the organisations are trying to solve the problem with the support from the government.

“We are persistently consulting with responsible authorities of the college and the students and consultancies concerned here,” said Pandey adding, “We have even forwarded written documents to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in Nepal suggesting solution and the measures to address the problem.”

During the press meet, representatives of the consultancies blamed both the Nepal government and Australian government for issuing no objection letter and visa even though they were aware of AIBT’s problems.

The organisations appealed to the Nepal government to request the Australian government for college transfer of AIBT students. “Australian government can manage credit transfer on a special request from the Nepal government,” said FECON’s President Yubaraj Katwal adding, “The problem of AIBT will be resolved automatically after revocation of its license suspension.”

ECAN also appealed the students to continue to attend the classes until a decision on AIBT’s appeal is announced.
