To extension this crevice, the Education Consultancy Association of Nepal (ECAN)—a non-benefit umbrella association that envelops 301 training consultancies working in Nepal—has been putting forth direction and advising to understudies and gatekeepers to help them in their choices. 

Set up in 1997, ECAN has been working in an undeniable way since 2007, with the making of its own implicit rules to screen the exercises of its part associations. In this way, through its part associations, ECAN has sent understudies to 60-63 nations. So as to make more boundless mindfulness about prospects and difficulties of concentrating on abroad, ECAN has additionally been arranging a yearly instructive reasonable since 2007. 

"Since its origin, ECAN's sole reason has been to preclude its individuals from giving false guarantees and data to understudies. We wish to help understudies in making their arrival in a remote nation for instruction as smooth as could be allowed," said Kumar Karki, official board part and the present secretary of ECAN. "Part consultancies must meet certain criteria. An illustration is that the consultancy must speak to no less than one school or college abroad, and we have various terms and conditions by which they should all stand," Karki incl

Aside from that, ECAN  also has its own memorandum and regularly monitors how its member consultancies are working. “ECAN monitors the overall activities of its member consultancies. If they overcharge or try to deceive students, we punish them. Annually, we’ve been suspending four to five consultancies from our list of members,” said Rudra Prasad Regmi, manager secretariat of ECAN.

Referring to the various obstacles ECAN faces, Karki said, “It’s not easy to tie up with universities abroad, and we have to maintain strong business ethics. We must, therefore, regularly monitor our member consultancies.” In addition to its monitoring work, ECAN has also been working to strengthen its relationship between students and parents by giving training to counsellors as well as instructors of TOEFL, IELTS, etc.
