It's a bitter truth we all have to accept that "Education is business these days. " According to the history, Education is considered as one of the Dhan i.e., Vidyadhan (to offer) which says to share knowledge for free. But today schools, colleges, Institutes are making business out of it by expecting amount that is not affordable by everyone. With the name of great infrastructure and facilities they charge from the students but there is no surity of quality educationAlso the education system says "The more you pay, The more you get. "Due to which there are many poor families who don't think about higher education of their children. If this continues then obviously the rich will be richest but the poor remains the same. In my view, every student should be provided the same kind of education because there are many intelligent students who just step back because of the fee in colleges.

The college management should remember one thing that is Students need education not facilities in the college. Specially engineering colleges afraids the students with the fees but many students remains unemployed at the end of their college. Students feel those 4 years are just useless.

I conclude that Education and quality education costs different these days.

Sadly, there is no doubt that Education has become a more business than a purely veracious enterprise. The private schools that serve the extremely wealthy value teachers that meet the student need to be entertained and empowered above and beyond the need to meet external curriculum needs. Parents who genuinely need their students to obtain a world class education should send their children (within capacity) to schools that offer an entirety externally assessed curriculum only like the CAIE. It is extremely common within schools that offer mostly internally assessed curriculums, that teachers are assessed entirely on the grade they award their own students. Is it then any wonder that teachers server the fee paying student/parent need at the cost of the need for veracity of curriculums and to follow the guidance of educated teachers. Is it any wonder that teaching has now become a semi professional, or almost labour sector because of the abandoning of veracity due to the complete serving of the whims and desires of uneducated fee paying parents and their children. This is a therefore a call for fee paying parents to reflect on the meaning and value of Education above and beyond the grade awarded by their own customer pressured teachers.

Hello everyone.

I believe that every parent now know the importance of education and want their children to get successful, for them education is not a business infact it is way to gain success.

But due to the poor maintenance and faculty at the government institutions in all these years, parents are willing to offer good education to their children and are joining them in private schools (who actually treat education as business) taking this as advantage they are charging high fees on children and improving their brands.

And now it is a great burden on parents to educate their children and many of the illiterate parents join their children in the institutions by seeing their brand name and many of those institutions do not care whether children are able to cope with the education pattern and due to this pressure many children get mentally disturbed and become abnormal and some even commit suicide.

These schools judge the students based on the marks. They bother least about the students interests.

My opinion is goverment should improve the education quality in their institutions. And take suitable measures on the private institutions who charge beyond their quality and see that everyone encourages and respect students interests.

Yes, I completely agreed.
"Education is a business these days".

Nowadays education is commission not a mission for institute.importance of education system decreased day by day because of anyone school, the institute is not teaching for student knowledge but it's based only on marks.
They are only teaching how can score higher marks when compared to another school.
& We see business tricks are applied in the education industry.

Everyone is busy in his life,... some gov schools are not properly working in education only for entertainment. because so much population & fewer of good jobs the competition is very high,& hence the people do not risk for their child & they admit in private institute and coaching that's why coaching institute increase their fees so much.

*Very imp pt.. for poor people are not capable to fill these fees in a coaching institute that's time intelligence child to stop their education that's why some problems create in future like terrorism, corruption & so on.

One thing I share all & mainly government - student is the future of our country if you provide good knowledge, thoughts when they will grow up that's time this thought and knowledge is useful.
Ty so much.

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.

This topic is very interesting and Yes, nowadays the education system becomes business. It is one of the sources of earning many people's opening institute and start classes. In one area there are more than 5 to 6 tuition classes. Everyone trying to compit one another. Parents taking educational loans and paying fees in such an institution for making their children future bright and they join their children in a big institution for getting good marks and become an engineer or doctor. But really they wasted their money because in a big institution no one asks students are they really understand topics or not and students have no habit to ask mam or sir. So, in the end, they get a bad result. It is happening in real. In my opinion, education is going bad in day by day. Everyone want admission in private school and after school, everyone wants government college that strategy should be changed. Our education system is very bad because the syllabus is not updated and we get only theory knowledge from college and industry want practical knowledge that's why also unemployment increases day by day, therefore, everyone thought that engineers have no job they are jobless but they have no fault.

Hello everyone,

Greetings of the day.

Today our topic of discussion is "Education industry is a business these days".

It is a harsh reality that the education industry is becoming a business these days.

I would like to share an example of a school in my locality. During the nationwide lockdown due to covid 19, the school was conducting online classes for Montessori students and charging fees for the same which clearly shows that they are driven by money and not actually providing good education for the future of students. As we all know that in Montessori classes the teachers actually don't teach the students about the subjects but they develop their IQ levels by indulging the children in playing games and all.

Education industry does a lot of advertisement nowadays.

Moreover, some of the schools require the parents of students to be educated as well. They are discriminating the rich and poor students.

Finally, I would like to conclude by saying that the Education industry has been a business these days. Government should regulate education industry by setting the fees limit, bringing impartiality among the poor and rich students and the advertisement done by these institutions.

Hi! my name is Subrat. Now I am going to write my overall point of view regarding the current topic.

I totally agree that nowadays Education industry is taken as a business as I have said business, that term is all about profit and loss. Teacher has the right to take money from there students because teacher also doing their work I mean they also do hard work to satisfy their students but due to the numerous of students are now coming to study so education industries play a business game among themselves, I am trying to say that industries are always trying to attract students by providing additional features. It proves that today's education industry is a business where students act as customers (obvious).

At last, I want to say that every education industry"s aim is how to get more students than others instead of giving proper teaching to their students.

I must tell to every education institutes that if we give proper teaching to your students then there is no need to show any AD, Students automatically come to your institutions. Because "Students is your real advertiser", so please keep that in your mind. "NO ADVERTISEMENT ONLY PROPER STUDY".

THANK you.

Yes. It can clearly be observed that the education system has become a business industry these days. Everyone wants to earn money and our education industry has become one among the great opportunities to extract money from parents. One reason behind this scenario is that the majority of government schools don't have proper education facilities so the parents being worried about their childs future are helpless and have to admit their child in private schools as they claim to give a proper education and facilities. But many private schools take it as an advantage and in exchange of good education they demand a hefty amount of fees and donations in exchange of giving admission to the children in their respective schools.

Along with this sometimes it is seen that the standard of education provided is inadequate as compared to the fees they extracted from the children. Thus the government must keep an eye on such institutions and lay a strong set of rules and regulations to prevent the education system from becoming a business industry so that the school focus more on providing quality education rather than concetrating on the money issue.

Yes, Education industry is indeed a business and will continue to remain one in coming years.

As quoted by Albert Einstein, "Everyone is a genius. Don't judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree. It will live it's whole life believing it is stupid". Education is to eliminate ignorance and not to build a business out of it. Now a days, people are more concerned about the profit they get out of starting an institution or even by running one. They don't give a damn about the lives of budding children. Education must be to teach the children, how to live and lead a life and not to create a competition among them.

What do these educational institutions make by taking lakhs of fees and donations for kindergarten students?

Are they going to teach alphabets and numbers for lakhs? That doesn't make any sense.

These numbers are so high that an average family makes a living out of it. The present education system is in fact discriminating between the children and this business has grown to such an extent that it has become an index of status.

Practically, children learn more outside the school than they learn inside.
