i am singaporean\n\ni think India has very rich and interesting cultures that goes back thousands of years...indian food is really good (i love southern indian food)\nand i think that there is a lot of talented and smart people in India.  I also think that there is a lot of poverty in India and that there is a big socio-economic gap between rich and poor..i also think that there are religious problems between Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus and hopefully these problems might lessen in time... I have never been to india so this is what i know through reading or watching the TV..i really hope to travel there some day..\ncheers

Hi, I'm an Indian, doing B.Sc. from an American college.\nI feel that though American colleges have been good in giving practical knowledge, it is loosing on the account of theoritical knowledge. Just for a basic example, in India, a 14 year old student knows what is trigonometry, which is taught much later to an American student. Although, as i said, practicality wise, American education is very good.

That is tough and also very specific to each region and society.  Some societies are very different from others regarding education.  Also, the level of education makes a difference.  My family could not afford a modern computer.  As a consequence I could not do some homework at home.  I was allowed to come to school a few hours early and use the school computers.  I did "OK".  Poverty only starts to influence education at higher levels.  The higher the level of education sought, the greater the cost.  Someone pays whether you or someone else.\nRace by itself does not influence education.  Culture does so more than race.  Racism is related to culture.  In some cases you are considering the child's response to racism much more than the child's race is considered.\nGender is up for grabs debate-wise.  We simply don't know enough to say with certainty how gender influences learning.  There are hints, but only hints.  The other problem is that averaging students in such a way puts increased burdens or difficulties on the boys or girls who do not fit the mold or who are not average.  Their learning would be hindered.\nParents involvement is important.  They influence the child's attitudes toward school as well as the child's behavior.\nTeachers methods are important.  They are always learning how children learn.  They change from year to year with understanding and also with using technology in teaching.  It is know that it is critical.  It is not know exactly how.\nThere are simply too many variables to nail down an answer.  I have talked with teachers.  They tell me that the same problem has to be addressed completely differently with different regions.  The inner city children of New York have a vocabulary and sense of English that is almost completely different from rural OK.  You cannot teach them the same because their understanding and environment are so different.  In OK cows are seen everyday.  In New York City they are in a zoo.  In some places the food was seen alive only hours before it is eaten.  It makes a difference.  Again, that is just the tip of the ice burg.

Educational inequality is the result of different exposure to educational facilities, combined with the educational experiences a student deals with at home.\n\nThe link below has a fairly extensive discussion of why the educational experience is different for people from different cultures, backgrounds and/or income levels.

Doom n gloom. Education is about making bright citizens. At a lower level when one begins school, reservation might help considering the backgrounds etc. When they grow to learn n fight, reservation will spoil the quality and bring in lethargy. Its a stupid decision. Students have no reservation about who is who - its the politicians who create all these. Sad and quite damaging decision. Did i not say Indian politicians are no different from African politicians and that is why sometimes even the defense minister is stripped n searched abroad. Would that happen to developed societies? Why is it happening to India - bcoz they deserve by their own deeds!

The Indian schooling system is considered to be really good, and trust me its pretty hard compared to that of other countries(especially the US). School is lotsa fun too. Lots of people do have cars, but bikes are a cheaper/faster/more daring way to get around because aldredy the population in soaring if every indian gets a car there wont be place on the roads. \nSouth India is more cosmopolitan/westernized when compared to the North.\nIndia is a great place to live, though it would be way better if we didnt have so many problems in our country. But then no country is perfect! so JAI HIND! lol

Its one of the emerging world giants after China.  Its the only country where you find such an unique unity in so much diversity of castes, cultures, languages, religions, traditions, and so on balancing with the gradual progress and development. \n\nFor more details visit www.incredibleindia.org

Education is arranged at State level in Australia. Search on "Education Department" coupled with the State names and send your enquiry directly to the Department of Education. The two largest (most populous) States are New South Wales and Victoria.\n\nThere is a lot of private education in Australia. Search "Private schools" and "Sydney" or "Melbourne".
