Students in USA challenge the teachers, whereas in India, they blindly accept whatever is taught to them. Pointing out this difference, US educationist Bruce Miller said that more than half a lakh students reach the USA for higher studies each year from India, whereas less than 5,000 American nationals reach India for the same.
Yet, the system of education and pedagogy followed in India by many institutions are much above the standards of what is there in America.
Bruce Miller was presenting a paper on 'American Approach to Technical Education' during Eklavya, a two-day international seminar on innovations in pedagogical approaches to secondary, technical, vocational education and training. The seminar was organised by Toc H Institute of Science and Technology at Arakkunnam, Kochi, in association with NITTTR Chennai, Indian Academy of Applied Psychology (IAAP) and Association of British Scholars (ABS).
