Look at Indian kids' ambition... NO ONE says they want to be a musician, actor or even an athlete!! United States... kids are wanting to be the next Tom Cruise or Michael Jordan. Chinese and Indian kids are working hard to be the next Khwarizmi or Einstein.
What people don't understand in the US is that there are only of the order of 1000's of people who can rise to the level to be even in the same ballpark of a Tom Cruise or a Michael Jordan, who make 7-figure salaries, while there are literally of the order of 100's of millions (about 5 orders of magnitude more, for those that understand Math) of jobs that pay 6-figure salaries in those professions that the Indian kids mention. Yet for some unknown reasons all the kids here in the US associate kids who try for those professions with adjectives such as "hard", "nerdy", "boring", and "uncool". What you get as a result is what you see in US society. Kids not interested in taking on hard subjects such as "Math" and "Science". The few that form the upper echelons of the arts, music, sports, etc. that are celebrities making millions are all Americans, while the backbone of society that keeps everything running and are the "hard sciences" are all filled by very well-to-do but non-celebrity folks who are immigrants from places like India, China, etc. Why is anyone surprised at the outcome? If you are superficial, lazy, and don't want to put in the hard work and care more just about the social aspects to be in the in-group in HS, then this would be the expected outcome and immigrants such as Indians would be the highest groups by average income in the USA. To explain for those weak in Math, when you compute averages, having most people making a lot of money will beat having a few making an obscene amount of money while the vast majority of the rest are not doing too well. The latter also leads to great income inequality which we are seeing today in the US. Everybody sees the one Michael Jordan and wants to become him, no one sees the tens of thousands who tried to become him, got nowhere and didn't amount to much more in their life, since they spent all their time on sports and neglected the academic persuits.
Same in India. But rural people don't have enough resources to put for their ward's education, that's where we lag. Government doesn't do anything worth praising...sadly
Here in India families compromise on food , shelter and clothing but they'll never compromise with their kids education. Here education is given the top most priority , because of a huge population the competition is so high that you have to be amongst the best. And everyone dreams to be the best and so everybody tries their best. That's why Indians are smarter..

Good night" and went to sleep. I have just passed my MBBS degree and currently preparing for post graduation.

Paul K - I visited schools in Mumbai and the Southern part of India. In China, I visited schools in Qingdao. Yes, I am aware that the issues are far more complex. Since that time, I have visited more than 115 schools in 10 of the 15 highest performing PISA countries in the world. China is heading the right way and has vastly improved its rural school system. India on the other hand has a long way to go. India's public school system is not very good but it does have many excellent private schools. In fact, India is at the bottom of the world in the PISA rankings.
***** The government dont want smart well educated critical thinking people they just want people smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork Otherwise they will know how the government is fucking them over with the fake news and the ponzi scheme banking system
+keith ballard You should visit northern India once. Delhi (or maybe Kota)...you would know how competetive students are there in the private schools. Even before high school they start going to extra tution classes ( usually 3-4 hours daily after 6 hours of school) to study topics which are not included in the syllabus just to prepare for the competition.
+keith ballard well sir, The government has given up schooling to the private sector, which has a lot of competitors, ensuring decent education at lower prices. The government schools run by the Central government are reasonably good and small in number, but the ones run by the state governments are worse, so much that you cant even say they are "schools". This is where the private schools come in.
This is one old video but I have to comment... I totally agree with his point that students in India are hungry to take the jobs. And considering how much the competition has risen recently, they have only gotten hungrier.

I do not think that China is going to be failing anytime soon. China has been on top of the world several times in the past and is reclaiming their dominant power again!
Well for more than 90% of the world's recorded history India has been the richest nation on Earth. I believe India is on the path of reclaiming it's numero uno position. It might take time but will happen for sure.
Did you know what most a Chinese diplomat stated in the 1900's. India dominated Chian for thousands of years, but never raised a sword. China may be reclaiming it power again but it is doing it wrong. A dragon can only blow flames for a certain amount of time till it looses it breath. An Elephant is strong, slow, a big memory, shows unity of family, and can go on for long. That is India, Hence India was so invaded for years, as this was the wealthiest country on earth. Having said that India does not try to dominate other countries and is friends with every nation on earth.

The only reason we study in India because every now and then there is some sort of news that xyz child from IIT got a package of 1crore, and our parents just feel ashamed that why can't my child get that job, so they start sending their children's in coaching from grade 8, and believe me that the competition in India is really high, when you have to compete with 1million young minds just hungry for a seat in IIT then you would come to know that what is real studying
Well, please don't generalise what you went through with everyone. Many don't study only for high pay packages, but rather because they love to. And they are the ones who get the top ranks.
This is not true because there are some people who study with their interest and these people will become innovators/visionairies and would probably become millionaire or even billionaire. Then there are the second group of people (almost 90% in India) who would do service based frustrated job becoz they studied for package. The first group leaves India eventually while the second group will leave here and will say "Money can't buy happiness" etc BS.

A complete change of the US education system - similar to that of the German model of Education. Currently I am visiting schools in 5 high performing educational countries in Europe - Germany included!
It is good to know that chinese education system is doing well compared to India. But china has an overbearing governance and strict adherence to absolute law. Therefore the results are unfavorable and cannot be sustainable for long, and the spirit of an individual is distorted beyond repair for life. You get best of both the worlds in India, you get a well polished & educated individual who can take control in any type of conditions while maintaining a sane personality. Chinese will start off timid but turn tyrannical along the professional & status growth, all the while getting grandiose with side effects of control issues.
What kind of teacher teaches that Asians are hungry and they are on their way to eat American lunch and dinner. You should be only preaching that American education system should be more focused or effective. Asians work hard cause we face problems that Americans might not understand we face the music and overcome them only by hardwork and USA is a land of opportunities.
Yup in the US, there are very few consequences for bad decisions. You may earn less, but you don't actually become destitute. In a place like India, one false step or wrong decision can affect you much more. The so called "homeless" people here in the US would be considered to have a decent life if you compare them to the poorest in Asia (India, China, etc.).

US has a brilliant education system only problem is that its not being utilized in the correct manner and thats because of capitalism, education in US is too expensive and people there don't realize the benefits of education.
And this video is about a decade older, now the students join full time coaching from class 9th Or as early as class 6th just to crack big competitive exams like JEE, NEET and UPSC. Just becoz schools have failed to give that quality education. Now I think even Chaina is left behind especially compared to those students who are at coachings for higher education and credit goes to great competition for govt. College seats..

i can agree as an Indian we have got a lot of problems but sheer resilience of my mother to help me is just too great. she is a housewife. She had a dream to be a lawyer but got married after her graduation. But my mom would wake up the entire night while i am studying. She would make me breakfast at 4 AM. she has an active watch on my studies. I have never got below A+ in any exam. It is not because of me but my mother.
I can't speak for other countries but in India only if you get good grades then you are respected in the society. Or else forget trying to be treated as a person with feelings. The education in India and China is mostly because of the social pressure and its so hard to reach the society's expectations.
Perhaps these people were driking too much alcohol. I can not imagine this to be the truth. Currently I am in Germany studying schools - it takes a whole lot more to enter the University system in Germany vs. the U.S. university system.
Amit - I can't comment on India, but China is definately inventing many things now and is leading many industries such as green energy, artificial intelligence, super computing and missile technology use, just to name a few.

Dear Mr Ballard I live in the UK and have watched all of your videos.Unfortunately the public education system here is just as bad as in America . There are no end of year exams as such ,children just move through the system based on age and not academic ability.I have had to remove my children from school just so that they can get an education.When I think it is parents who are to blame because most take no responsibility for their children's future and leave everything to teachers and schools.
These are all side issues. It is just the lack of will. There can never be any shortage of ocean, there can only be a shortage of fish. Speaking only for myself, I can honestly say, I have never lacked in the ability to be excellent, but always lacked in the desire to excel. Learning has nothing to do with competition, and self improvement is a good thing. By this I mean there is never any lack of resources, just the lack of individuals with the desire and the will to put those resources to good use.
I am from India and I really appreciate the education system of china. I have heard about it. Whereas indian education system is outdated. One cannot be able to succeed if he or she only depend on schools and colleges. I have seen govt schools in south India, schools there are way much better as compared to schools in east India.
America has facilities so kids don't generally go through struggle indian kids go through. Only a good job can end their struggle for basic needs. Also indian kids look after their whole family including parents so they have responsibility from the beginning. So its not surprising that they are so competitive or Indian parents put pressure on them to get good marks. When your poor or middle class in indian you'll know the struggle. Privileged people have the opportunity to spent time hobbyto think about their hobby. #peace
Fair points. Aside of School education, college education in India tends to be quite broad and overly bookish lacking applicational knowledge and know-how. Indians tend to be strong on theory, but weak on application. This is where I think western education excels. India needs to move to that model and I think the steps taken are encouraging, but there is a long way to go. The top 10-20 colleges have moved to that model, but the vast landscape of colleges still relish their ancient systems unfortunately. This is where Indian education fails - after a good school footing / foundation, the college system flounders. I don't know about Chinese, but seems like Chinese too are working up on the same way.
Yeah gotta agree with you . When my dad was hiring people , they didn't even know what to do but knew the theory all too well . I'm an Indian and I always think that it would hav been better to learn things through practical rather than theory . But we are so focused on stuffing all the textbooks into our brains and vomiting it out during exams and then later forget about it
Indian education system is not being supported that much by the govt. which actually ought to be(in terms of GDP spending)...but it's not because govt. Is not willing to...but mainly due to other reasons like geopolitics, comparatively less gdp, poverty,health,etc. are equally demanding issues. If India could have wealthier like any first world country,She would be superpower in education system within 2/3 decades.(it's not arrogance but a strong rational belief)... because starv for education and related respect is in the blood of Indians. It is recognized by the world even when we aren't concentrating at our full energy and intensity on the sector.
Subhuman- kindergarten is becoming more popular throughout the world especially in high performing PISA ed countries. Many students in China start kindergarten at age 3.
I can't help but think that if he were asking school kids what they wanted to be, whilst touching their shoulder, that would be the news story, not the children's answers. The 1st world has lost focus on the big picture, getting caught up on people's sensitivities, complaints and all the while walking on egg shells defending political correctness!
The Indian education system is not helping the country in any way as it is only benefiting the MNC's. The education system in India is teacher centered and is against the real principles of Education as the meaning of education itself says To Bring forth or To bring up

Bushra - many Americans are poorly educated and are not well traveled. Unfortunately, many Americans falsely believe that the world revolves around America.
I know that you are trying to find something positive for the American kids who will be left out for the high end white collar jobs. Because of the vast population of the both China and India, not all of them will get the "high end" jobs. Thus, the "rejects" from China and India will probably winding up with our "blue collar" jobs.
You can't relocate jobs like plumber, carpenter or cleaner. American kid can do these jobs. It's not a shame to be carpenter nor plumber. It's better to be a good carpenter than a bad engineer. US citizen are weel known for their positv and optimistic attitude. Be American.
I am from India. I arrived in this great country in year 2004. I started in 8th grade and Keith is right. American high schools are pathetic and not globally competitive. First, I was stuck in those ESL (English second language) classes. I begged the administrator to get me out of it. I knew English but I wanted to interact with other American students to improve my speaking and adopting the accent. Instead they held me in those ESL classes to train other Indians that joined high school after me. Why on earth would I interact with my fellow Indians in English language? They finally got me out of ESL classes when I was in 12th grade. By that time, I improved my speaking/writing/reading abilities by playing on-line video games. I never had to take a backpack or bring books to my house because I was able finish all the homework in class or during lunch. And speaking of white American kids, they will have no interest in blue collar jobs since the most high schools don't even have those type of classes. For example, my high school had 3 to 4 different language courses that you can choose from. However, the school never had any extra courses that helps you learn the basics of plumbing, custodian, constructing etc. School district always had "lack of funds" excuses every single year.
This is one of the most critical and important story that America needs to hear. Unfortunately no one will listen and hungry kids from India and China will outwork and out compete our kids. 💯 It’s time to invest in Education. Vocational courses. Financial literacy. HARNESS the innate talents in STEM.

I don't think American high school Student can solve jee advance, and can work hard for it like we😎
I would be surprised if any but the top 0.1% would even clear the preliminary JEE exam.
Agreed
did you just said jee advance!!! I wonder can they crack jee even? fuck no...they teach simple calculus in college which we've learned when we were like 9th or 10th standard......some maybe in 7th standard
thats why indians are still going to USA and abroad, for what? wake up , education is alone not enough to be a global leader or at least a leader of your own country, half of india is below poverty line, and you think we can compete with world top countries. hello no , i guess

Paul K - I visited schools in Mumbai and the Southern part of India. In China, I visited schools in Qingdao.
Yes, I am aware that the issues are far more complex. Since that time, I have visited more than 115 schools in 10 of the 15 highest performing PISA countries in the world.
China is heading the right way and has vastly improved its rural school system. India on the other hand has a long way to go. India's public school system is not very good but it does have many excellent private schools. In fact, India is at the bottom of the world in the PISA rankings.
***** The government dont want smart well educated critical thinking people
they just want people smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork
Otherwise they will know how the government is fucking them over with the fake news and the ponzi scheme banking system
+keith ballard You should visit northern India once. Delhi (or maybe Kota)...you would know how competetive students are there in the private schools. Even before high school they start going to extra tution classes ( usually 3-4 hours daily after 6 hours of school) to study topics which are not included in the syllabus just to prepare for the competition.
+keith ballard well sir, The government has given up schooling to the private sector, which has a lot of competitors, ensuring decent education at lower prices. The government schools run by the Central government are reasonably good and small in number, but the ones run by the state governments are worse, so much that you cant even say they are "schools". This is where the private schools come in.
India's private school education system and it's students are way ahead than rest of the world but the government schools are no where near
David Rath in America it is still mostly Americans in the top positions
Hi Mark,
I agree 100% with you!
This is one old video but I have to comment... I totally agree with his point that students in India are hungry to take the jobs.
And considering how much the competition has risen recently, they have only gotten hungrier.

I do not think that China is going to be failing anytime soon. China has been on top of the world several times in the past and is reclaiming their dominant power again!
Well for more than 90% of the world's recorded history India has been the richest nation on Earth. I believe India is on the path of reclaiming it's numero uno position. It might take time but will happen for sure.
Did you know what most a Chinese diplomat stated in the 1900's. India dominated Chian for thousands of years, but never raised a sword. China may be reclaiming it power again but it is doing it wrong. A dragon can only blow flames for a certain amount of time till it looses it breath. An Elephant is strong, slow, a big memory, shows unity of family, and can go on for long. That is India, Hence India was so invaded for years, as this was the wealthiest country on earth. Having said that India does not try to dominate other countries and is friends with every nation on earth.

The only reason we study in India because every now and then there is some sort of news that xyz child from IIT got a package of 1crore, and our parents just feel ashamed that why can't my child get that job, so they start sending their children's in coaching from grade 8, and believe me that the competition in India is really high, when you have to compete with 1million young minds just hungry for a seat in IIT then you would come to know that what is real studying
Well, please don't generalise what you went through with everyone. Many don't study only for high pay packages, but rather because they love to. And they are the ones who get the top ranks.
This is not true because there are some people who study with their interest and these people will become innovators/visionairies and would probably become millionaire or even billionaire. Then there are the second group of people (almost 90% in India) who would do service based frustrated job becoz they studied for package.
The first group leaves India eventually while the second group will leave here and will say "Money can't buy happiness" etc BS.

A complete change of the US education system - similar to that of the German model of Education. Currently I am visiting schools in 5 high performing educational countries in Europe - Germany included!
Mark - you have a point!
It is good to know that chinese education system is doing well compared to India. But china has an overbearing governance and strict adherence to absolute law. Therefore the results are unfavorable and cannot be sustainable for long, and the spirit of an individual is distorted beyond repair for life. You get best of both the worlds in India, you get a well polished & educated individual who can take control in any type of conditions while maintaining a sane personality. Chinese will start off timid but turn tyrannical along the professional & status growth, all the while getting grandiose with side effects of control issues.
What kind of teacher teaches that Asians are hungry and they are on their way to eat American lunch and dinner. You should be only preaching that American education system should be more focused or effective. Asians work hard cause we face problems that Americans might not understand we face the music and overcome them only by hardwork and USA is a land of opportunities.
Yup in the US, there are very few consequences for bad decisions. You may earn less, but you don't actually become destitute. In a place like India, one false step or wrong decision can affect you much more. The so called "homeless" people here in the US would be considered to have a decent life if you compare them to the poorest in Asia (India, China, etc.).

That’s kinda racist.
We in India call those additional school that he mentioned as coaching centres and we have them for 6-8 hours(but it's on both Saturday and Sunday) Eg fitjee starts from 6th till 12th grade of our schooling years
I have classes on week days for 3 hours everyday+ 6 hours of school+ Homework of both School and coaching and self study
US has a brilliant education system only problem is that its not being utilized in the correct manner and thats because of capitalism, education in US is too expensive and people there don't realize the benefits of education.
And this video is about a decade older, now the students join full time coaching from class 9th Or as early as class 6th just to crack big competitive exams like JEE, NEET and UPSC.
Just becoz schools have failed to give that quality education. Now I think even Chaina is left behind especially compared to those students who are at coachings for higher education and credit goes to great competition for govt. College seats..
if they hear about the competitions and entrance exams in these populous countries their mind will get blown into pieces
Finland is not ranked #1 in education although it is ranked quite well. In the 2012 PISA test, Finland actually dropped in its rankings.

i can agree as an Indian we have got a lot of problems but sheer resilience of my mother to help me is just too great. she is a housewife. She had a dream to be a lawyer but got married after her graduation. But my mom would wake up the entire night while i am studying. She would make me breakfast at 4 AM. she has an active watch on my studies. I have never got below A+ in any exam. It is not because of me but my mother.
I can't speak for other countries but in India only if you get good grades then you are respected in the society. Or else forget trying to be treated as a person with feelings.
The education in India and China is mostly because of the social pressure and its so hard to reach the society's expectations.
Perhaps these people were driking too much alcohol. I can not imagine this to be the truth.
Currently I am in Germany studying schools - it takes a whole lot more to enter the University system in Germany vs. the U.S. university system.

Guys it's really tough
This video is posted 10 years ago. Do we see any improvement ?
Dear Mr Ballard I live in the UK and have watched all of your videos.Unfortunately the public education system here is just as bad as in America . There are no end of year exams as such ,children just move through the system based on age and not academic ability.I have had to remove my children from school just so that they can get an education.When I think it is parents who are to blame because most take no responsibility for their children's future and leave everything to teachers and schools.
Bro we go to school for five hours a day here in india... Well at least until 10th std...
I ask my HS students the same question here in the US and a lot of them answer IDK.. Oh my....
I agree!
These are all side issues. It is just the lack of will. There can never be any shortage of ocean, there can only be a shortage of fish. Speaking only for myself, I can honestly say, I have never lacked in the ability to be excellent, but always lacked in the desire to excel. Learning has nothing to do with competition, and self improvement is a good thing. By this I mean there is never any lack of resources, just the lack of individuals with the desire and the will to put those resources to good use.
I am from India and I really appreciate the education system of china. I have heard about it.
Whereas indian education system is outdated. One cannot be able to succeed if he or she only depend on schools and colleges. I have seen govt schools in south India, schools there are way much better as compared to schools in east India.
America has facilities so kids don't generally go through struggle indian kids go through. Only a good job can end their struggle for basic needs. Also indian kids look after their whole family including parents so they have responsibility from the beginning. So its not surprising that they are so competitive or Indian parents put pressure on them to get good marks. When your poor or middle class in indian you'll know the struggle. Privileged people have the opportunity to spent time hobbyto think about their hobby. #peace
Fair points. Aside of School education, college education in India tends to be quite broad and overly bookish lacking applicational knowledge and know-how. Indians tend to be strong on theory, but weak on application. This is where I think western education excels. India needs to move to that model and I think the steps taken are encouraging, but there is a long way to go. The top 10-20 colleges have moved to that model, but the vast landscape of colleges still relish their ancient systems unfortunately.
This is where Indian education fails - after a good school footing / foundation, the college system flounders. I don't know about Chinese, but seems like Chinese too are working up on the same way.
I agree but India now have started in fields of application too
Yeah gotta agree with you . When my dad was hiring people , they didn't even know what to do but knew the theory all too well . I'm an Indian and I always think that it would hav been better to learn things through practical rather than theory . But we are so focused on stuffing all the textbooks into our brains and vomiting it out during exams and then later forget about it
I agree
Indian education system is not being supported that much by the govt. which actually ought to be(in terms of GDP spending)...but it's not because govt. Is not willing to...but mainly due to other reasons like geopolitics, comparatively less gdp, poverty,health,etc. are equally demanding issues. If India could have wealthier like any first world country,She would be superpower in education system within 2/3 decades.(it's not arrogance but a strong rational belief)... because starv for education and related respect is in the blood of Indians. It is recognized by the world even when we aren't concentrating at our full energy and intensity on the sector.
I am Indian and I never went to kindergarten, started my education directly from 1st grade.
Subhuman- kindergarten is becoming more popular throughout the world especially in high performing PISA ed countries. Many students in China start kindergarten at age 3.

Chin G. - I agree with you.
What's the problem Keith? Import Indian engineers or Chinese doctors. White american kids will be blue collar, plumber, carpenter or cleaner.
I know that you are trying to find something positive for the American kids who will be left out for the high end white collar jobs. Because of the vast population of the both China and India, not all of them will get the "high end" jobs. Thus, the "rejects" from China and India will probably winding up with our "blue collar" jobs.
You can't relocate jobs like plumber, carpenter or cleaner. American kid can do these jobs. It's not a shame to be carpenter nor plumber. It's better to be a good carpenter than a bad engineer. US citizen are weel known for their positv and optimistic attitude. Be American.
I am from India. I arrived in this great country in year 2004. I started in 8th grade and Keith is right. American high schools are pathetic and not globally competitive. First, I was stuck in those ESL (English second language) classes. I begged the administrator to get me out of it. I knew English but I wanted to interact with other American students to improve my speaking and adopting the accent. Instead they held me in those ESL classes to train other Indians that joined high school after me. Why on earth would I interact with my fellow Indians in English language?
They finally got me out of ESL classes when I was in 12th grade. By that time, I improved my speaking/writing/reading abilities by playing on-line video games. I never had to take a backpack or bring books to my house because I was able finish all the homework in class or during lunch. And speaking of white American kids, they will have no interest in blue collar jobs since the most high schools don't even have those type of classes. For example, my high school had 3 to 4 different language courses that you can choose from. However, the school never had any extra courses that helps you learn the basics of plumbing, custodian, constructing etc. School district always had "lack of funds" excuses every single year.
This is one of the most critical and important story that America needs to hear. Unfortunately no one will listen and hungry kids from India and China will outwork and out compete our kids. 💯
It’s time to invest in Education. Vocational courses. Financial literacy. HARNESS the innate talents in STEM.
