New Wave of EdTech in Nepal: Localized Platforms for Qualification and Language Learning

Nepal has one of the most valuable assets in the 21st century: its demographic dividend. More than half of the country’s population is under 25. This generation is ambitious, technologically savvy, and more eager than ever to pursue better career prospects both at home and abroad. However, these aspirations are hampered by a major obstacle: the gap between the traditional education system and the realities of the modern labor market.
Nepalese universities and colleges often provide solid theoretical knowledge, but graduate students who lack practical, in-demand skills. Employers complain about the need to retrain graduates, and the young people themselves face difficulties in finding work. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of Nepalese go to work abroad every year, where knowledge of foreign languages ​​and the possession of specific professional qualifications are key factors for success.
This gap isn’t just a social problem. For tech entrepreneurs, it’s a gaping market niche worth millions of dollars. The name of the opportunity is EdTech. In a world where the smartphone has become the primary window to the world, mobile apps and online platforms can be the bridge that connects academic education with the practical skills needed to succeed.
