Definitely education industry is a business these days. Every institution is established with a mission called profit, they focus on profits. It's okay to make profits but here is the thing, they make profits more than what they require and more than what we can pay. There are also some institutes which focus more on children's education than profits, Thankful to them. Every child has the right to education, ultimately it is government responsibility to establish sophisticated infrastructure and methods of teaching and learning in government schools. India spends 2. 4% of its total GDP for education in 2015-16, 2. 6 % in 2016-17 and 2. 7% in 2017-18 and 3% in 2019. If we compare these figures with some countries, we not even spending half of theirs.
For example.
Cuba - 12.9%.
Norway - 8%.
Denmark -7.6%.
There are also some countries that spend nearly same figures as India, for example, Singapore spends 2. 9% and is marked as one of the best education systems. We are also spending the same but where is the problem, is it in plan making or in the implementation? We need to make changes according to the present scenario of the competitive world. Every parent wants their child to have the best education, as government schools are not up to the mark to compete with the present world so there is no other way than private institutes so children are joined and they are made to pay a high fees, the most affected are middle-class men because India's majority of the population are middle-class men. The government should keep some barriers for the fee structure. Not everyone can afford a good education, not everyone can pay a high fee. Only blessed kids are having the opportunity to have a good education and large scope in higher education without bothering about fee.
There are cases where a child's dream is crushed only and only because of their parent's financial status. I feel that no child should fell low, no child should not kill their passion and dreams just only because of their financial status.
This has to be changed, and this is only possible if government focus on this. Thankfully this year there is a good news that our education system is going to be changed, 6% GDP is expected in new education policy. Lets hope for the better future to the future generations.
So that everyone get their education and no institute should make education a business.

Cuba - 12.9%.
Norway - 8%.
Denmark -7.6%.

The education industry is a business nowadays it is the biggest truth of life.
1. Nowadays college school are only business ideas they doing business only they only receive money.
2. I noticed that college and school are only focused on theoretical knowledge because of this students mind are not develop properly.
3. They hire only those faculties and teachers there are paying less amount. For this best knowledgeable faculties and teachers are going next field and another place.
4. In India, the cultural school and college focus on theory. If they focus on equally both theory and practical knowledge students have gained more knowledge.

Yeah, it should be a business that we should know how the principal s of schools are becoming rich.
Nowadays we are giving too much fees to the schools if it is a poor person then it would become impossible for that person to give that too much fees.
So from this I had imagined that nowadays industry became a business.
This the views in my my mind which I tell to you about this topic.

Good morning friends.
My name is Rahul Kumawat.
I am glad to start the discussion.
Friends! the topic given to us is "Education industry is a business these days".
In my opinion, it is a topic of serious concern.
I believe that education is the foundation of one's career and but now these days people are using education as a business. They are charging a high fee and also charges for school dress, Bags other fees.
Private institute's main moto is to charge as much they can, They think education is business and people can give a lot of money for their children's education.
Due to the increase in the number of institutes competition also increasing and fees also increasing and due to the lack of good teachers, the quality of education decreases.
And people also think that more fees mean good education but it is not like that.
Nowadays, Most of the legends came across basically from Government schools.

Greeting friends,
Yes, I agree the term that the "education industry is a business these days. " because, in every coching Institute, school college's aim becomes to earn money. In the many schools for showing their results they don't want to teach 9th and 11th and directly teach for board classes. They don't care for it that it directly affects students when they ready for comparatively exam preparation.

According to me, education in the modern days has definitely become a source of income, we see teachers today don't pay attention to those students who did not join their tuition.
We see in the remote areas people built schools, coaching classes, universities just to earn huge amounts of money and did not even realise that they are just playing with the future of the students.
Today people do not consider you as to how talented you are but they judge you from where you studied from, Even in the job interview also.
People in the race of money have forgotten the essence of true education and started trusting on the advertisement they see on television.
Friends, I would like to conclude by saying that education is not an industry to run but it is the base and future of the country which should be developed.

In my opinion, Education is the most important thing for everyone, but in private universities nowadays, it seems like they are operating more like businesses than educational institutions because they charge far too much in tuition and for supplies like textbooks and uniforms. This time, every parent wants to enrol their children in a reputable private school, but they overlook the fact that there are also public schools available, and that public school teachers are competent and gifted. I believe it is our fault. Because our government spends a lot of money on education in public schools, we need to take this into consideration. You know how competitive it is for a government position these days.

I agree with the topic. Today definition of education is changed by the education industry, it is more like a way of making money not a path of knowledge. Nowadays it is a trend in the business field. People are building education institutes and coaching centres just for the sake of earning and profit. They don't care about the quality of education. Parents are also concern about their child's education, they do everything for it, it has raised the level of corruption in the education industry. Private institutes have increased the bar of fees without raising the quality. People think of it as a status definition to sending the children into big-budget schools and coaching centres.
I think the government needs to take initiative to stop the self-will of education institutes. Government schools are needed to raise their quality otherwise people will kept high prices for education.

Good morning all my friends!
Education is undoubtedly the most important phase of a person's life, which shapes his overall personality along with inculcating a number of desirable traits like punctuality, self discipline, Service before self etc.
But nowadays, it has purely become a business. Private Schools charge huge fees and as a result poor people are left with no choice, but to give up on their dream to have a better life.
Moreover, this is due to the fault on the part of Government Schools to match up to the standards of Private Schools. The environment, the facilities and the ambiance of Govt schools is filthy, embarrassing and moreover teachers are here just for money making. This is due to lack of regulatory mechanisms or Check systems for the same.
As a result, private sector enjoys Monopoly and hence is in a position to exploit the Society.
Moreover, Taking Higher education in India is completely a privilege. Medical colleges demand donations which range upto Crores.
And even Government premier B School like IIMs are no less in competition.
So, yes this strictly needs reform so that education can be accessible to all to ensure development of the Country and Society at large.

Hello everyone, I'd like to share my opinion about the topic.
I think education has became a bussiness the reason is that here faculty and teachers are not making sure about how much students have understood, they're just teaching the concepts and formulas etc.
They are giving more importance to marks.
I think the teachers should give students more practical knowledge than just a theory I mean practical like lab sessions should be more than theory.
But I would not tell that the everywhere education system is like this, in some parts of the country they are even having more practical knowledge.
And I hope everywhere they should give more importance to practical knowledge.
