Besides that, there is also the growth of coaching institutes that sustains this business. Parents have to pay hefty sums to get their children in good schools/colleges and pay again in. Coaching institutes. In such coaching institutes students may or may not fare well but it is always win-win for these institutes. In some institutes, teachers are not respected. Is important to educate students to learn a wide variety of knowledge instead of just focusing on doing exercises and papers. Moreover, a lot of tutorial centres emphasizing "High marks and Good grades" which mislead the students to have a wrong idea that "getting high marks" is essential in the process of learning and education. Worse still, even parents also encourage kids to get high marks but they ignored to inculcate the kids that acquiring new knowledge is important for their life. Parents also tend to encourage the kids to join.

After independence India has started well in the field of education with prominent examples like setting up of IITs, IISC, converting state-run colleges to NITs and many more. As time passed the moto of political parties changed to populist ideas to attract votes. Slowly India's investment in education sector reduced leading to poor performance in providing primary education to children.

There was a time when by self-study students clear the toughest exam like civil services, IIT, AIEEE, Engineering services, CAT etc but the ignorance of government in education sector lead the poor education level for students. With this scenario increasing population and job scarcity lead private players to convert education into a business.

Education nowadays is truly business with lots of mushrooming engineering/degree colleges in every cities. Besides that, there is also growth of coaching institutes that sustains this business. Parents have to pay hefty sums to get their children in good schools/colleges and pay again in coaching institutes. In such coaching institutes students may or may not fare well but it is always win-win for these institutes. In some institutes teachers are not respected. They have strict rules and regulations and made to work like factory workers. Overall one can safely say that education nowadays is really business.

Hi. Everyone.

I agree the education industry is a business these days. The word "industry" saying itself is for business. There are many schools and colleges provide education at a high cost.

Due to this, many people who are financially no effort, they can't get an education.

Nowadays we also get poor skill and knowledgeable teacher for which students are not get the proper education.

So, For me nowadays Education industry is a business.

I totally agree that Education industry is a business these days. In the past decades, It is important to educate students to learn a wide variety of knowledge instead of just focusing on doing exercises and papers. Moreover, a lot of tutorial centres emphasizing "High marks and Good grades" which mislead the students to have a wrong idea that "getting high marks" is essential in the process of learning and education. Worse still, even parents also encourage kids to get high marks but they ignored to inculcate the kids that acquiring new knowledge is important for their life. Parents also tend to encourage the kids to join as many tutorial classes as they could. Therefore, Education industry is a business these days.

Good Morning Friends,

According to me, Education industry is business in this days. Because the education system is not provide good skills for students. It is only provide good marks and scores but not knowledge. In this generation education system is all about the business. So, it makes changes to the education industry.

I would like to start with the quote of Jawahar Lal Nehru-To be successful in life what you need is education.

Ironically today this quote proved to be right for the education business, all you need is to get one qualified teacher to attack 1000s of needy and grow the business.

After independence India has started well in the field of education with prominent examples like setting up of IITs, IISC, converting state-run colleges to NITs and many more. As time passed the moto of political parties changed to populist ideas to attract votes. Slowly India's investment in education sector reduced leading to poor performance in providing primary education to children.

There was a time when by self-study students clear the toughest exam like civil services, IIT, AIEEE, Engineering services, CAT etc but the ignorance of government in education sector lead the poor education level for students. With this scenario increasing population and job scarcity lead private players to convert education into a business.

With the ignorance of government toward education, private schools proved to provide a better quality of education and had successfully attacked students but at the cost of unregularised fee structure, soon these unregularised fees become a major source of income for the private school.

Growing competition with population helped the coaching centre to develop their roots with false promises of 100% selection and job guaranty which lured the needy.

Its after few of the government professors and politician pointed out making money intention of private institutes on the name of education and the declining standard of Indian education system, government has taken up few steps to curb this growing business of coaching center to ease the financial burden of parents, like grading system instead of % for10th class so the student doesn't get demotivated and continue with self-belief of doing better, the inclusion of school percentage in competitive exams so students focus more in school and don't move to coach centres, lowering the toughness of question paper so a student even can prepare by self-study.

But education business has developed its root to a great depth that any effort won't bear fruits up to a decade, Like after the inclusion of 12 class percentage in IIT exam, even after that I came to know about a coaching institute that has contracted a private school and now both school and the coaching institute are making money out of their ill policy.

So, yes education has become a business, which is not easy to stop at this phase of India where still after 70 years of independence we are enabled to provide primary education to children, jobs to youth and skills to graduates.

Yes, of course. Nowadays education industries are not providing proper and needed education.

Yes I think many education departments are just running out because of good business, I'm not pointing here every other education industries but few are just for the business purpose, no one is thinking of quality education which is much needed, all parents are running after reputed names. People who are rich and able to afford high feeses is the only support and backbone of these education industries.

Hi everyone, according to my view.

* Nowadays education is becoming one of the business in all the stages either it is a school or a college or else in any private institutions.

*The government schools are also now providing good education in their schools but the private organisations are people are manipulating the people and telling them their institutions are good and if the students study in their institutions they will get good marks and jobs like that and make them join in their institutions.

*But in some institutions according to their fee, they are providing good resources to the students and make them learn in a better way.

*In some places some private institutions are unnecessarily charging more fee even for primary education and they are telling unrelated reasons like activities etc.

Finally, I conclude that the government should have to implement the strict rules in controlling the fee structures of private organisations.

Hi,

Thanks for giving an opportunity to share my knowledge about this topic.

Really education industry is business industry because all parents dream is to join their children in reputed private schools because these days private school students are very smart they know all future technology comparing to government school students because government can't provide training in government schools because government can't bear all expenses incurred for development of students because of this reasons private schools owners can make profit by providing various skills and required knowledge for student to face competition in future and present it helps to increase demand for admissions in private school on that time they increase fees according to their needs and nowadays it is like a business parents ready to pay and schools ready to give quality education according to parents requirements.
