As we step into a brand-new year, all of us at Education Park would like to pause, reflect, and express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been part of our journey. A new year is not only about fresh beginnings; it is also a moment to look back with honesty, appreciation, and learning.

First and foremost, we thank our students; the heart of everything we do. Your trust, dreams, patience, and resilience continue to inspire us. Alongside you, we extend our sincere appreciation to our university partners, associate partners, stakeholders, well-wishers, friends, and our families, whose constant support has helped us grow steadily over the years. The journey we share is built on trust, collaboration, and a shared belief in ethical, student-centred guidance.

Looking back at 2025, it was a year of both achievements and challenges. It brought meaningful partnerships, valuable connections, strong business outcomes, and memorable international fam trips that helped us stay aligned with global education trends. These experiences strengthened our understanding of international education and reinforced our responsibility to guide students with clarity and realism.

At the same time, 2025 tested the resilience of the global education sector. Several study destinations introduced stricter visa policies. Australia and the USA were particularly unpredictable, with refusals even for strong and deserving students. The UK revised post-study work durations, while Canada significantly slowed visa issuance. Within Nepal, internal changes in NOC systems added another layer of complexity. These shifts reminded us that international education is deeply influenced by policy, timing, and global realities, and that transparency and preparedness are more important than ever.

Beyond education, the year was emotionally intense for Nepal as a nation. The Gen Z movement reshaped conversations around governance and accountability. Political unrest, vandalism, and sudden transitions marked a period of uncertainty. Yet, amid these challenges, the country witnessed a historic moment with the appointment of its first female Prime Minister. As we look ahead to upcoming elections, there is cautious optimism that Nepal will move toward stability, reform, and progress.

As we welcome 2026, our commitment remains unchanged: to guide students responsibly, adapt proactively, and uphold integrity in every decision we make. Change is inevitable, but growth comes from how we respond to it.

We move forward with hope, resilience, and belief in better days, for our students, our partners, and our country. Let us welcome the new year with clarity, courage, and confidence.

Happy New Year from all of us at Education Park.
