Everyone seems to glory in ragging on people for poor public speaking, but never considers that they're under pressure and probably very nervous. Plus, the question itself is a bit of a trap. In pageant-land, you are never to be negative in a response, and the way that question is phrased makes that strategy extremely difficult. I'm not surprised the girl was fumbling for an answer. Note how she was trying to throw positive things in about improving education in other countries.
