I read your article with interest, but do not agree with many of your views. I was educated in India (ICSE). And I did my higher studies abroad. Yes, the education system here is very different. And it tries to do too many things : differentitation, creating independant learners; teachers have to do three part lessons (every lesson); we use interactive whiteboards in almost all lessons!!!; ICT is the soul of teaching; etc etc..I can go on and on.
But I still value my Indian education. I have been taught to compete, struggle and live my life for myself. I was never allowed to play too much as a child, and then left to struggle on my own at a higher age. My brains were moulded to taek in as much information as possible.
Maybe a little more fun is all I would recommend the change in Indian education system. We have an education system, which is of universal standard.
I recently read in one of rediff.com's columns about New York times Friedman saying how he was reminded by his mom about starving kids in India when he did not finish his breakfast. And how now, he reminds his kids about those Indian kids who would make them strave, when they dont do their Maths homework.
