well i dont think so .i did my schooling in nepal as well and nobody asked us to memorize anything and yeah if you are talking about high school then yes there were some points where we had to memorize something . yeah you have to get a job and study whern you are abroad and yes i accept it is hard to do it both and yeah that gives some value to your degree that is understandable. bedrock i can say thats totally bull shit that you say about the professors of TU.if you have studied under them thenyou should know if not then welll let me tell you they are not like what you say. and mr dum dum,yeah its true the college politics and bandhas make it hard that true.i too studied ina govt college and we could ask as many qestions as we could,thats also a first hand experience mate.and its that same in universities everywhere there will be a lot of students in the class and nowhere you ll do good if you dont study yourself as well. but here a question arises since DUMDUM had to say something about the mentality of students of nepal and that is they would not want to return forever.so,people going/coming abroad is it for a foreign (better???) degree or is it is it for a foreign land??????? honest?
