Difference In Education Systems

Throughout my life I’ve been moving from place to place because of my father’s job. It has its ups and downs. One of the key differences in both the places is education. Now as far as I’ve seen, there is a huge difference that it takes some time to adjust. The U.S and Indian education systems are completely different. And that’s what I’m here to write about. This post was long overdue and someone even requested it (Don’t tell this to anyone but it was Aman :D) And as I was getting bored I thought I might just complete this. So here it is:

I may warn you that my experience is limited to only NY education department because each state has its own department. But many things are similar for all the states.

Compulsory and voluntary: One major difference is that finishing 12th grade is compulsory and not like India where it is only till 5th or 8th grade. Now some people argue that U.S. education system is very low but I think otherwise. In its defense I would argue that it doesn’t cost anything. I mean our government schools which are free aren’t good either. If you go to one I would assume that you know less than US students. Plus how much does the Indian government enforce students to go to these schools. Well U.S. students have to go to school. If you don’t go to school they call your parents and force you to go school. US government takes it very seriously. And the schools are pretty good too. On one hand the state pays for your education, while on the other hand your parents do.
