Because when you take classes in high school, that will be having some kind of studies related to college. So the level of their studies is much higher. And if you compare it from America, they have a little easier and that's how student can able to understand them very well. But if you compared to India, there are some students who cannot able to get in, get able to understand the concept because it's out of their league. It's out of their mind. Their mind is not that much developed yet. So they can't get into too much kind of understanding of the concept of studies.

They were used to give tuitions while during here in America. So there is no tuition. You don't go any other place to study. You study yourself, there are peer mentors. There are tutors who support you to do your school or college work, but they have some kind of, some sort of tuition. So that also pressurized you on the top of your schoolwork that say you got schoolwork to do. And plus you have tuition and their tutors, they give you more work to do. So students are very, very pressurized and they sometimes get out of the track and they don't want to do anymore. So I think in some way, India is better, but other ways America is also better.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/943/collection_resources/69751/file/154328#t=192.0,267.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/943/collection_resources/69751/file/154328/transcript/35856/annotation/16","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Tanish Sukhija: Everyone has every, both countries has their own pros and cons. In America, there is racism. A lot of minorities are being, not, they- they don't get a lot of opportunities. If we like, if you see the past of America. In India, there is no racism at all. So everyone is like, uh, same, same class. There's also classes, middle-class upper class, but, but there's like, some people are rich or some people are poor, but there, there is no opportunities like that. There are more opportunities for, for low level or poor people, uh, class peoples or big government give more opportunities to them in compared to high level people.

So that thing, there is some, some, some changes or some differentiation in countries, but in study-wise, and in growing wise, they both are going very fast. India, if you see from past the, it has grown so much, but there's also something it needs to get more changes. And America just got his need. That's new president. I'm hoping that it will also change and get better into its own country.

Um, based on my point of view, I believe our education system does needs to be work because the pressurized work it has on the pressure. One gets being a student itself, then there's roles to play. So I wouldn't say very pressurized, but there is pressure to be successful and in here compared to back in my country. Um, girls, uh, have more opportunities here. So that's the fact I like the most about the education system here. There's not a genderism and everybody has the ability to do whatever they want. So as a girl, personally, I like the system itself, but it can be better. They can be developed. So it just needs to be worked on it.

Study at home is not really a good idea, in my opinion. I have faced so many problems and the whole system is changed due to COVID study, virtual study. I think a lot of people, most of the students are just passing by cheating or, but look, again, some kind of answers from Google or somewhere else, I think we need to get rid of COVID and get their cure.
