Nothing is too much ,if you have decided to get more. Now students ,studying in India can get US School Degree at home through E-Learning.
Imagine securing a US high school diploma without even stepping out of your home in India! As India attempts to go international in the field of education, here is a virtual classroom straight from America.
The American International Academy, a US-based online education academy, is offering the diploma – the US equivalent of a Class 12 certificate – at a time when many Indians are queuing up for American degrees. Over 100,000 Indian students went to the US last year for higher studies.
“This diploma will bring Indian students at par with their American counterparts,” J. Donald Williams, chairman of the American International Academy (AIA), told the sources. Only those who have completed Class 10 under an Indian board can enroll for this course.
Williams is on a visit to India with Ron Klink, a former member of the US Congress (1993 to 2001), for taking ahead the virtual school.
“By enrolling in this programme, Indian students will be eligible for preferential admission in US universities and colleges, at par with students in the US,” Williams said.
The AIA started in 2000 when the closure of steel mills in Midland, Pennsylvania, forced the local administration to close the schools there due to fund shortage.
“We could not support the school financially as the revenue from the steel mills stopped. The children had to go to a school across the border in another state; that was very embarrassing,” says Klink.
“We started to educate them online in Pennsylvania. Gradually, it expanded to the whole of the US,” says Klink, adding there are nearly 20,000 students enrolled with it in the US.
The academy, which was formally launched in India in March this year, is now in dialogue with the human resource development ministry and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to adapt the curriculum to Indian needs.
