"we can not compare PhD from nepali schools with PhD from US schools, but for high school and undergrad, nepali education is very much competitive." Broda what r ya talking about, Nepal has PhD only in Nepali language, Sanskrit, I need to check. So we need to come abroad if we want to do our doctorate thesis. "High school and undergrad. Nepali education is very competitive", is it????? One of my fren wanted to study in St. Mary's, she's kinda rich, the monthly fee is only Rs. 400 but they wanted a 20,000 donation (mind u, u HAVE TO give the donation to get admitted). She landed up going to MIS. I don't know about competitive, but I have heard being asked about tons of DONATIONS if u r loaded. If schools in Nepal are sooooooooo good, then why do they give jobs to ppl who have a foreign degree???? U can mince my words, say stuff but can't change the facts.
