Outline of final paper

Education in Nepal vs. education in USA

Nepal and United States of America are physically in two opposite parts of the world. The food, the culture, the civilization, the language and everything is different between these two countries. In terms of education too, the whole system is quite different. History of education is quite old in USA but new in Nepal. Getting uninterrupted education in Nepal is a privilige but education in USA is totally free till high school.


If we compare the academic year, it starts in May in Nepal and ends in March whereas it starts in June in USA and ends in May and they have a summer break in between. Also, the categorization of high school is different. In Nepal, there is secondary school till grade 10 and grade 11 and 12 are run separately. On the other hand, high school in USA include grades from 9 to 12. In terms of running the schools too, secondary schools in USA are all government run whereas secondary schools in Nepal are both public and private run. I think it's a good idea to have the school run by the private entity too as it will increase the competition and improve the quality of education. Next, if we observe an American classroom and a Nepali classroom, again there's a huge difference. After I attended the university in the USA and did tutoring in a American high school. I found that the classes here are student-focused whereas the classes in Nepal are teacher and professor-focused. This directly affects in the understanding of the context of the topic. Also, I found that American classes are openly interactive and

challenging.


As a whole, the quality of education is progressive in Nepal and it is motivating in the USA.
