Coalition Director and Founder
About
Aavash Subedi is a young scientist and campaigner from Birendranagar, Surkhet, grounded in curiosity and compassion. After being denied exam accommodations during a documented medical crisis, Aavash began uncovering structural deficiencies in Nepal’s examination system. He spearheaded a nationwide campaign to institutionalize exam accommodations for students facing verified crises. Following 1.5 years of research-based, sustained advocacy, Nepal became South Asia’s first country to adopt a Special Consideration Policy for students facing life-disrupting emergencies. Realizing this was a global issue affecting hundreds of millions, Aavash founded GCSC—Global Coalition for Special Consideration—to expand policy reform worldwide. With focus and humility, he commits to GCSC by listening closely, learning continuously, and working to strengthen policies that ensure fairness and dignity in education. Beyond GCSC, He finds quiet joy in writing, reading, exercise, thoughtful conversation, and community initiative.
