Foreign Dreams

Srijana Dhungel of Shantinagar, New Baneswor completed her IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test five months ago as she is planning to go abroad for further studies. It’s not that she didn’t find the perfect faculty, suitable subject or good college over here. But she believes that only foreign land, especially Australia, can fulfill her all her dreams, be it gaining a reputed international degree, a bright career, or living a wonderful luxurious life. She received six weeks of IELTS preparation classes in an educational consultancy, but unfortunately scored only five in IELTS test, which is below the requirement for colleges in Australia. But she did not take the result as a big deal. She went through more preparations and attempted the test once again. For her, the biggest step towards her bright future is to score a six in the IELTS, anyhow, at any cost. 

Not only Srijana, but hundreds of youth are busy preparing for the Iron Gate, the IELTS test, in every building of Bagbazaar and Putalisadak, which are the hubs of educational consultancies. Yes, IELTS test is no less than Iron Gate today, driving young students of Nepal crazy.
