prabhat,

I did my preschooling in India. India's education is far better than Nepal. They say Nepal is at least 50 yrs behind India and more than 500 yrs behind US. 

Nepal's Education Level = I still see Nepali graduates strugggle in TOEFL and GRE and other standard exams. I have plenty of Indian friends from Banglore, Mumbai and Delhi and friends who went to Manipal, Darj etc. Their fluency and vocab is strong unlike most Nepalese. Plus 70% of India's young generation speaks and writes english while we have a staggering figure of 48.6%.

Nepal saw increased numbers of private/english meduim schools but education level remains the same. Boarding schools hire people educated in Darj just to lure students as parents think their kids will learn english in no time. But this is wrong again. Not every Darj educated has good english, depends on which school he/she attended.

Any thoughts!
