The event drew significant interest from education stakeholders and featured insights from two key leaders in the field: Asish Thakur, Executive Director & CEO, and Prof. Stephen Driver, Principal of Embark College.
Thakur and Driver highlighted Embark College’s innovative approach to modern education, presenting a comprehensive framework that effectively bridges local and global educational standards. “Our vision is to bring international-quality education right to Nepal’s doorstep,” explained Thakur, emphasizing the college’s commitment to providing accessible global learning.
The session showcased Embark College’s core educational initiatives, including a transformative learning experience. Their global curriculum incorporates international best practices while maintaining local relevance, ensuring students receive a world-class education within a familiar context. Strategic international partnerships provide students with exposure to global perspectives while they study in Nepal.
Prof. Driver underscored the institution’s unwavering commitment to academic excellence. “We’re not just providing education; we’re creating opportunities that prepare students for global careers,” he stated, highlighting the focus on developing skills that are highly valued in the global job market.
