Having experienced both the Indian (CBSE) education system and the Western (IB) education system, I can say that the CBSE system definitely lacks in encouraging children to think critically.

IB isn't a typical example of western educational system, so you are wrong there. For example I would never say that the Italian Maturità or German Abitur is better than the Indian one.

I have done both british A levels and CBSE 12, and I can say that both have their own positives. But encouraging critical thought isn't one of them for either.

It's essentially true for the entire human race.
