About Global Educational Pathways
A family-run consultancy, founded on one woman's journey from village veterinarian to QEAC-certified education counsellor.
A Life Built on Hard-Won Expertise
Long before Australia, our founder Sabina Yasmin was the head animal doctor in Kushtia — trusted by farmers across the district to diagnose and treat livestock others had given up on. Her husband worked alongside her in agriculture, and his own expertise became local legend: he could identify a tree's species from a single leaf, without ever having seen that tree before. Between the two of them, their working life was built entirely on the kind of hands-on expertise that takes years to earn and can't be faked.
Starting Over in Australia
When Sabina and her husband moved to Australia, she arrived not as a professional but as a housewife, starting from zero in a new country. Rebuilding a career from that position takes a particular kind of determination — and she did it by studying, requalifying, and working her way back into academia, eventually becoming a professor at Sydney Imperial Institute.
Choosing to Become a Trusted Guide
Having gone through the international student and migrant experience herself, Sabina understands exactly what Bangladeshi students and families are up against — the paperwork, the uncertainty, the distance from home. She chose to formalise that understanding by self-funding her own certification as a Qualified Education Agent Counsellor (QEAC) through ICEF Academy's Education Agent Training Course, so that her advice would be backed by a recognised professional standard, not just personal experience.
Why Global Educational Pathways Exists
Global Educational Pathways grew out of that journey. It isn't a faceless call centre — it's Sabina's own expertise, backed by a small team of family who each bring something different: local support for students and families back home, and an on-the-ground presence in Sydney for students after they arrive. The goal across all of it is simple: help as many students as possible reach Australian universities and colleges that are genuinely right for them.

This certification means every recommendation Global Educational Pathways makes is backed by a formally trained, tested, and ethically bound education-agent standard — not just personal experience.
