Multidestination EduFest 2025: Connecting Students to the World  

One of the biggest highlights of the month was our much-anticipated Multidestination EduFest, held on September 1. The event was an incredible success and brought together a vibrant mix of students, education experts, and representatives from leading universities across the USA, UK, and Australia. This unique platform gave students a rare opportunity to explore multiple study destinations all in one place, helping them make more informed decisions about their future academic journeys.

Throughout the day, students were able to have meaningful one-on-one conversations with university representatives, gaining first-hand insights into study programs, scholarship opportunities, admission requirements, and the cultural experiences each country has to offer. It wasn’t just about collecting brochures or attending presentations. It was about building real connections and understanding what life as an international student could truly look like.

Many attendees shared that the event helped them clarify their goals and discover study options they hadn’t considered before. Whether it was learning about the world-class education system in Australia, exploring innovative research opportunities in the USA, or discovering the rich academic traditions of the UK, EduFest opened doors to a world of possibilities.

We were also honored to welcome our Managing Director, Jyoti Bista Khadka, who traveled all the way from Sydney to Nepal to be part of this special event. Her presence added extra significance to the day, highlighting Educonnect’s dedication to being there for students both globally and locally. Her words of encouragement and vision for empowering students deeply inspired everyone in attendance.

The energy throughout the event was inspiring. Laughter, curiosity, and excitement filled the room as students explored their next steps toward a global education. It was a proud moment for the Educonnect team to see so many young minds take a step closer to their dreams, supported by our partners and advisors who are dedicated to guiding them every step of the way.

• Current Challenge: Spicy Noodle Showdown                                                            Adding a dash of fun and excitement to student life, our recent Current Challenge turned up the heat, literally! The Spicy Noodle Challenge, held in September, brought together students eager to test their spice tolerance and enjoy some light-hearted competition. Laughter, cheering, and plenty of water made the event unforgettable as participants bravely took on the fiery noodles.                                                              The challenge wasn’t just about winning; it was about creating a sense of community, sharing fun moments, and making memories beyond the classroom. Of course, there were some amazing prizes up for grabs too. The winners walked away with brand-new earbuds and smartwatches, adding an extra spark to the celebration.                              Events like these remind us that student life is about more than just studies, it’s also about building connections, enjoying new experiences, and having a great time together.                                                                                        

IELTS Premier League: Prize Distribution Ceremony

The IELTS Premier League was an exciting highlight for our student community, a fun and competitive initiative designed to inspire students to achieve their best in IELTS preparation. The event brought together passionate learners who challenged themselves through a series of mock tests, interactive workshops, and skill-building activities, all aimed at boosting their confidence and test performance.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the top performers of this edition, who stood out with their impressive scores, dedication, and hard work. Their achievements reflect the power of consistent preparation and a strong learning mindset.

To honor their outstanding performance, a special prize distribution ceremony was held, where the winners received well-deserved recognition and awards. Beyond the results, the event created a vibrant and supportive environment where students could learn, grow, and motivate each other.

A big congratulations to all participants and especially to our winners. Your success inspires others to aim high and believe in their potential. We look forward to seeing even more incredible performances in the upcoming editions of the IELTS Premier League.

Standing in Solidarity: Gen G Protest in Nepal

September was also a time of reflection and solidarity for our Educonnect community. As the Gen G protest in Nepal unfolded, it deeply touched the hearts of many of our students and team members. Recognizing the impact of these events on our community, we came together to stand in support of those affected and to acknowledge the emotions surrounding this important moment.

To honor the lives lost and show our collective respect, we held a mourning event where students and staff gathered in a quiet and heartfelt ceremony. It was a space to reflect, share feelings, and support one another through a time of grief. The event reminded us of the strength that comes from unity and compassion, especially during challenging times.

At Educonnect, we believe in not only celebrating moments of joy but also standing together in moments of pain as one community that supports and uplifts each other.

Celebrating Student Success: Outstanding PTE & IELT Score

We are incredibly proud to celebrate the remarkable achievement of one of our students who recently scored an impressive 90 in the PTE (Pearson Test of English). This outstanding result reflects not only their dedication and hard work but also the support and guidance provided by our Educonnect team throughout their preparation journey.

In addition to our top achiever, we are proud to recognize the outstanding performances of other participants who also secured impressive scores in this month of the IELTS and PTE exams . Their dedication and hard work truly deserve to be celebrated.

Marking Milestones: Visa Granted at EduConnect

At EduConnect, every student’s achievement is a proud moment. Recently, several students successfully received their visas, marking a significant milestone in their academic journey abroad. This accomplishment reflects their dedication, hard work, and determination to pursue global opportunities. The occasion also highlights our ongoing commitment to guiding students through each step of the study-abroad process. We are excited to see them embark on this new chapter and achieve great success in their chosen destinations. Achieving such a high score opens doors to countless academic and career opportunities, and we hope this success story inspires other students to aim high and stay committed to their goals. Congratulations on this fantastic milestone, we can’t wait to see what you achieve next!

Celebrating Culture: Ghatasthapana and the Beginning of Dashain

September also marks a special time for many in our community with the celebration of Ghatasthapana, the auspicious beginning of one of Nepal’s biggest and most beloved festivals, Dashain. This festival symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and brings families together for days of prayer, rituals, and joyful gatherings.

For our Nepali students and staff, Dashain is a time of renewal, reflection, and celebration of heritage. At Educonnect, we take pride in honoring the diverse cultures within our community and recognizing the significance of such festivals that bring people closer together.

As Dashain unfolds this month, we wish everyone a happy and prosperous festival season filled with peace, happiness, and meaningful connections.
