I keep hearing from people who moved to the US from Nepal recently that the education system is better in Nepal than here in the US.
I really have a hard time accepting this. When I was in the school in Nepal the education system sucked. SLC was the iron gate through which less than 50% of the people could get in every year. There was SLC level education which I passed and then I was thrown into I.Sc. where I had to study advanced science. The gap between SLC and I.Sc. level was so wide.
The worst part of the education system in Nepal is the lack of creativity. Students were never encouraged to have creative ideas.
On the other hand, I have not lived in Nepal for several years now, but a recent DV winner sent his child back to Nepal because he was convinced that education in Nepal is better than in the US. Is he right? Am I losing it? Or is he doing it just so that he and his wife could work double shift seven days a week, if they do not have a school-going child living with them?
The funniest point I heard from one Nepali is that the children in Nepal speak better English than the children in the US nowadays.
