Seven+ years in India is a remarkable achievement! Your ability to adapt is truly commendable. I simply adore your family vlogs. Sending love from Aizawl.

[@Shortleft_Travels]

Thank you for your kind words and well wishes, we appreciate it! It is very different in India compared to South Africa, and we’re also proud of them for adapting to easily, or at least kind of easily adapted😊 took a while… Thank you for your continued support ❤️🙏🏻

@@Shortleft_Travels Even in India, you can home-school and take board exams as a Private Student in pretty much all boards... including IB, GCE, ICSE, and CBSE. IB & GCE are great options, TBH.

[@Shortleft_Travels]

This is true, yet we weren’t able to get answers regarding only writing certain subjects, instead of all. Unfortunately no one could answer this.

[@RonBhattacharya]

​@@Shortleft_Travels So, some 'schools' follow IB in major Metros. CGE doesn't have any 'school' here, but they do have GCE Exam Hubs... and you have to take the exams in modules and complete all within a certain time (I think it's 6 months... from the first module) to clear the GCE A-Level. The advantage of GCE is you can directly get admissions into most of the European Universities - without having to add an extra year for undergrad courses... to do a Post Grad later. The other option is to do a 4-Years-Degree in India itself (that's all "Professional" Courses and B-Arch., which is 5 years).

lot"s of love from india

[@SureshThakur-xw5qb]

Best thing one can do ,when visit unknown or unfamiliar place is to keep all senses open. Accept the thing as it is ,dont travel with prebagage in mind about the place visit. Be careful bit not overcautious. Open to explore, dont let tinny thing destroy your stay. Noise, population, different languages is fact but hindi and english most know to communicate. Just enjoy, happy ,mix.

[@Shortleft_Travels]

Thank you for this great advice, we've definitely learnt the importance of being open-minded during all our travels. And it’s become a part of how we travel and see different places 😊 Thank you for your continued support ❤️🙏🏻

Indian passport has decreased in ranking past few years. Most Indians want to give it up.

[@Shortleft_Travels]

If it was possible we would have done so. But unfortunately we can’t yet. Thank you for your continued support ❤️🙏🏻

[@kavitapingle]

Thanks for the upload I m Indian living in US , I am also searching about the schooling system for my kids in India . Can you pls let me know is there online ICSE classes for kids and how did u enroll ? I am looking for birla branaic institute do u have any good school in mind to enroll for at home learning i m mainly looking for ICSE or IB board

[@Shortleft_Travels]

Thank you for your questions. We do complete independent homeschooling, so we don’t follow a school syllabus, they don’t attend any online classes either. Only KZbin videos regarding the specific subjects they study. There are many options available depending on the state you’re moving to, if that’s your plan, as well as the time of the year. As schools is from May to April the following year. Schooling options can be private schools, convent schools, and public/government schools. India usually follow 3 boards, icse, cbse and ncert. Public schools are a good option, but to get place can be difficult and influence is needed. International schools is about affordability as their fees are 300 thousand to 900 thousand rupees per year. There is an option of homeschooling in India, which is called as national open school which follows cbse and doesn’t require a student to attend a school. Hope this helps, if there’s anything else, you could share and we will try and help. Good luck with this😊 Thank you for your continued support 🙏🏻❤️

[@AJ-td5ec]

There is a massive Indian community in South Africa about 1.5 million Indians.

[@Shortleft_Travels]

That’s true! Thank you for your continued support ❤️🙏🏻

[@solemansheikh311]

Kids need to go to school. Homeschooling is not a good idea i think. Kids need socialize. In school there is good opportunity to interact with other students which is important for self confidence. I think they need to go to school.
