A VIBRANT DESTINATION
With a literacy rate of 92%, and 83% of the total population having had Secondary Education, Sri Lanka has one of the most literate populations amongst developing nations. In 1942 a special education committee proposed extensive reforms to establish an efficient and quality education system for the people. Sri Lanka has around 16 public universities. They include the University of Colombo, the University of Peradeniya, the University of Kelaniya, the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, the University of Moratuwa, the University of Peradeniya, the University of Jaffna, the University of Ruhuna, the Eastern University of Sri Lanka, the Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka and the Wayamba University of Sri Lanka. However the lack of space in these institutions and the unwillingness to establish private universities has led to a large number of students been denied entry into formal universities as well as high undergraduate unemployment. This has resulted in many students looking at India for their educational requirements.

A POTENTIAL DESTINATION
Due to shortge of qualified teachers there is an on-going teacher training programme conducted under government auspices. President Gayoom has made improving the educational system a priority. He is dedicated to improving education standards, especially at primary and secondary levels to meet the increased manpower needs of the country, and to improve teacher training. New schools continue to be constructed and education expands into the health and sanitation fields as well as in most areas of social development. Maintaining an affiliation to a reputed external examination system at secondary level, the Government has most appropriately innovated and introduced a Fisheries Science Programme into the secondary school, the subject having been offered at GCE '0' level since 1987. As is common in other developing nations, students must travel abroad for a higher education in college or university. In their continuing efforts to upgrade the educational standards, the Maldives' government maintains education as a priority.
A TOURIST DESTINATION
Thailand is one of the strongest economies in Southeast Asia. The capital city, Bangkok, serves not only as the administrative heart of the country, but also as the nation’s cultural, commercial and educational centre. Bangkok is a thriving metropolis of more than 8 million people and serves as a shipping, transportation and financial hub for mainland Southeast Asia. Academically, the Ministry of University Affairs (MUA), as an agency responsible for most degree granting institutions of the country (both public and private), has placed an emphasis on internationalization and regionalization of higher education. The school year in Thailand is divided into two semesters, and for primary and secondary schools generally begins on or around 15 May, to end in March, and from June to March for higher education. It has a two or three week break between the two terms in September. Currently over 7000 Thai students are studying in India and the quality and affordability of Indian Education system is well received and recognized by Thai Nationals.
A CULTURE DESTINATION
Before the 1950-51 revolution, Nepal had 310 primary and middle schools, eleven high schools, two colleges, one normal school, and one special technical school. In the early 1950s, the average literacy rate was 5 percent. At the higher educational level, the research focus or tradition was virtually absent, largely because there were few research facilities available for professors. There were some excellent private schools, mostly located in the Kathmandu Valley, but many appeared to be merely money-making ventures rather than serious, devoted educational enterprises. The National Education Plan established a framework for universal education. Higher secondary education stressed manpower requirements and preparation for higher education. National development goals were emphasized through the curriculum. The School Leaving Certificate examination, a nationally administered and monitored high-school-matriculation examination, was given after completion of the higher-secondary level.
