What is the education system like in your country?

Our country follows the British education system, so it is mostly revolving around lot of research work instead of practical. However, in recent times, with coming of Internet and smart classes, there has been a considerable shift towards practical, although it still remains research oriented at the fundamental level.

Do you think your country has effective education system?

Too an extent it is effective. So, when talking about the education provided till class 12th, it is great. But, when it goes on to higher education, I think it does lack, in a sense that it is only the best colleges that have good facilities and getting into them is quite tough, because of seat limitations. I think if some how either the number of seats to good colleges be increased or better facilities are provided to other colleges, we can hope things get better.
