In a recent social media post, Indian-American entrepreneur and political figure Vivek Ramaswamy emphasized the need for reform in the U.S. education system, citing that 75% of 8th graders in America are not proficient in mathematics. He compared this to the average student in China being four years ahead of their U.S. counterparts, suggesting that the country must address its educational deficiencies before focusing on skilled immigration. Ramaswamy’s comments reignite discussions on the H-1B visa program, which has been a topic of debate regarding its impact on the U.S. workforce.
Previously, Ramaswamy criticized the H-1B visa system, labeling it as “indentured servitude” and advocating for a merit-based approach over the current lottery system. His latest remarks align with his ongoing campaign for the 2026 Ohio gubernatorial election, where he continues to call for significant changes to U.S. immigration policies and educational reforms.
