Forming an association is a good start- helps to network with your peers and share ideas. Obviously, we are all quite aware of the benefits.

But I wonder whether a bunch of PhDs can really make a difference in alleviating the educational conundrum that continues to be marred by political instability, mismanagement, corruption, etc. So, I ask whether these are exceptional PhDs with years of real world experience as managers in the education industry- if not, then why limit the groups' membership to just PhDs. It is easy to understand why contributions from a diversified set of people are well regarded if the group is trying to tackle a societal issue. Perhaps, I do not quite understand the bylaws/purpose of the group. I am just thinking out loud here- as an expat, I am as quite interested as you in how a successful contribution to the development of education (no longer a misnomer on the root of success) can be made. But, like many of us, frustration has set me back many times over.  

Can you please educate us- what is the group's strategy to produce talented graudates with steady infusion of young Nepali students into the current education system. Have we conducted a feasibility study. Do we understand the status quo- what hypothesis have we formed. And do you really yet need this group labeled as NGO to make it a success.
