  SHOULD POOR COUNTRIES DEPEND ON RICH COUNTRIES FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT? By Sajjan Acharya Undoubtedly, the health, education, and trade sectors play an indispensable role in developing poor countries.  These sectors play a crucial role in boosting the national economy of a country. Poor health services cause many people to scramble for medical assistance. This will keep them off the job until they are cured. In the meantime, the skilled workforce of the country is capable of changing the face of the country. And education is the only institution that produces skilled manpower for the country.  Not only the education sector but also the trade sector are equally important for the all-round development of the country. Without improving trade, no poor country can think of economic development. Trading is directly proportional to the economy of the nation. It is seen in countries like China and India that, because of their increasing trade with other nations, their econo...

  REVOLUTION IN COMMUNICATION By Sital Bhandari Email is a new invention that has made communication much more convenient. Due to emails nowadays, letter writing has become less popular. I agree that emails have brought revolution to the modern world. However, I still believe that the practice of letter writing will not disappear and will remain alive.  In fact, emails are also a form of letter writing. Emails are much more convenient to communicate with each other, no matter how far they are apart. But they can communicate almost instantly. This is not possible with letter writing. One has to wait for days before a letter is received by the post. A letter can be lost on its way before reaching its destination. There is almost no security when letters are sent.  Anyone can open the letter. But this is not the case with emails. They are safe and secure due to a strong password. During the early period, letter writing was a popular form of communication. After reaching ...

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND EVER-INCREASING TUITION FEE By Rosmi Thakuri Paying the university tuition fee is always difficult for many international students all over the world. On the one hand, tuition fees are increasing on regular basis, and on the other hand, international students are not getting enough part-time jobs. In this situation, it will be an uphill task for international students to continue their studies abroad. Thus, some scholars, however, suggest removing certain subjects like arts, history, and philosophy to reduce the cost of education. Many academicians believe that the arts, philosophy, and history do not hold any significance, and therefore students are not much benefited from the study of such subjects.  Nevertheless, some scholars do not stand in support of those who think that subjects like arts, philosophy, and history should be taken out of the course. They strongly believe that the arts, history, and human psychology are extremely important subjects....

By Pramisha Sapkota In this modern era, science and technology have made tremendous progress in almost every sector. Learning has become much more accessible today than in the past. Even classroom studies can be substituted by online platforms to a large extent. However, even though online learning has gained popularity, many people are still skeptical and believe that physical classes are more pragmatic than online classes.  With the help of online learning, thorough research can be done on the subject. Several websites and YouTube channels are potent sources of learning. Moreover, through Skype and similar applications, distant learning has become highly successful. During the COVID pandemic, when the nation was under complete lockdown, all colleges and schools were closed. But through Google and Skype applications, many educational institutions successfully conducted their classes....

  Working while studying: Is it ok or not? By Pramisha Sapkota   It is a fact that many students work while studying. Part-time jobs might bring financial independence to students, but it is also true that they will definitely cause them stress. However, there are many pros and cons to a part-time job while studying.  Most of the students do part-time jobs because of their weak financial condition. This is not the case with the children of wealthy people. Working while studying will help students become more responsible. They also understand their responsibilities to their families and society. Moreover, youngsters can get work experience that will certainly help them get a well-paid job in the future. In addition, working part-time will teach them the value of time and money. Most importantly, a part-time job will bring financial independence into their lives. The students can meet their expenses; otherwise, they will depend on their parents.   Unfortun...

Without a doubt, the number of vehicles has increased tremendously in recent years. However, with the increased numbers of vehicles, more incidents of road accidents have also been reported. Thus, the subject of road accidents has become a serious issue today.  Life has become very fast, and people are busier today than they were in the past. They have to use different means of transportation in their day-to-day lives. Most people prefer the fastest mode of transportation so that they can reach their destinations on time.  If we look back in the past, the frequency of road accidents was pretty low. But today, roads are not safe and secure as more accidents are taking place. Among others, poor quality roads could be one potent reason for accidents. Roads are cracked in many places, and several pu...

Photo: Nepal Education Post THE ROLE OF EDUCATION CONSULTANCY By Kiran Subedi Students often find themselves confused about choosing the right colleges and universities for higher education. Moreover, they are also uncertain about the overall expenditures, accommodation, visa procedures, and documentation. The visa application process can be lengthy due to the different requirements set by the host colleges and universities. Sometimes the entire process can take as long as a year. Education consultancies play a crucial role in assisting students in finding the right colleges, universities, and scholarships for further education. These education consultancies offer a wealth of resources, including expertise, information, and technical support, to students.   These consultancies provide comprehensive information about universities, colleges, and academic programs. They also provide detailed entry requirements, course offerings, and program structures. Leveraging this wealth of...

All Photos: Read 2B Happy.   MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE BODY AND SOUL By Enjeesa Rai If I ask people, what is life? What is the purpose of your life? Can anyone answer it? The majority of people will start thinking about it not because they don’t know it but simply because they don’t know how to explain it. Are these questions too difficult? No. Then why do we stammer while answering such fundamental questions? These questions are just examples. There are numerous questions about us that we are unaware of. For instance, who created the soul? The energy?  Still no answer? It’s such a paradox, right? We know, but we still don’t know, and this is the truth. So, let’s plunge into the pool of my experiences and knowledge that I have assimilated. I actually cannot remember the exact date; however, I remember one day I was watching reels on YouTube, when I stumbled on a video and started contemplating. In the reel, a question was raised regarding how the soul is the supreme essence...

Photo: Read 2B Happy COPING WITH GOOD TIME AND BAD TIME By Nabin Thakuri There may be a good time or a bad time and truth has it that nobody wants to experience bad time in life. Is bad time so bad? Not at all. What bad time can teach people a good time can never teach and this is a reality! Then should we try to put efforts to change bad time to good time? On the other hand, we should make compromise with bad time. This is a point to be considered. Is it not?     Bad time comes in everyone’s life more like an unwelcome guest. Some people think that we should just accept it while others believe that adequate efforts should be put to make things better.  People face unsatisfactory situations more today than ever before. They are not satisfied at their work, at their homes or the business they are doing. Again the question is, should we let it continue by compromising with the situations? Alternatively, efforts should be put to improve those situations.  Wel...
