After participating in the film, do you think Indian students are better prepared than American students?
I do think being an Indian High School student has certain advantages over being an American High School student. Our depth of knowledge in science-related subjects seems to be greater than an average American student. An Indian High School graduate who has chosen science as his career path completes almost five years of education in Math, Bio, Chemistry, Physics. This is in contrast to the American way of schooling where AP courses are taken by choice. Few students would voluntarily want to challenge themselves intellectually with extra coursework. I think that scientific skills are of paramount importance in this modern age of globalization.
