What difference is there in Indian & Foreign Culture of education, which culture is the best according to you?

“Students are not given freedom for selecting their career path is the drawback of Indian culture of education”

In India, students are not given a choice to select their field of interest. One must become an engineer or a doctor! Sports and arts are considered to be made for leftovers. If you don’t get admission in the science of commerce stream; you choose arts. This is what Indians feel. Aspiring students should select their education based on their interest, plan, and what he/she has to achieve in their life.

What do you think about the competition which is going on between students?

“Students should compete with themselves and become the best version of themselves”

I want to suggest every student focus on good things, make their parents proud, don’t be scared of any race & competition. I recommend three simple and basic sets of values for youth: life, education, freedom. If you place a high value on each of these and consider them in your decisions, it will affect the choices you make.

Any suggestions you would give to the current youth and the students?

“Students should believe in themselves and follow their heart”

Do not be a follower. Avoid being part of the crowd. Without being a loner, you can separate yourself from the group of people who are not involved in positive things and still have a social life. Avoid following popular trends that could lead to a high-risk lifestyle, such as becoming so obsessed with materialism that you will do illegal activities to obtain certain things.
