Now I are one!
???The crux of the problem is that critical thinking, problem solving and the application of concepts are skills in short supply'
I work in IT and my wife works as an accountant for a Fortune 500. Both of us have to deal with Indian contractors working in our areas of expertise and both of us see this every month. These issues should more accurately be labeled as
cultural problems, not educational. Indian culture "trains" their people to follow rigid rules to accomplish assigned tasks. If the task has a component that calls for creative thought or problem solving,
they will skip it! The "caste system" is alive and well in India. As long as the
society expects a type of behavior that is different than what a
post-secondary school teaches, the societal behavioral training will win.
