In my opinion, nowadays the education industry is one of the most revenue yielding sectors for many investors. As most of the educational institutions are not thinking about the career of the students the just try to make there point of differentiation by giving a different type of tasks and tests and all. But they are not trying to know that the pedagogy is suitable for all the students in the institution or not.

In many higher education institutions, they are trying hard for the instalments of the payment and also they are pressurising the students mentally. That leads to suicidal death of the students.

By looking for the solutions the government must have to make the rules strictly for the educational institutions.

Thank you.

Education is a business today because some people are greedy for money and want to earn more and more money. It does not matter how intelligent the child is, but the institution is in need of a child who can afford to pay a high amount of money as fee. In-spite of having extra money in the form of school funds the concerned authorities takes extra money in the form of donations for the events organized in the school premises or by the school.

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.

Education industry is a business these days. I would say YES.

Main thing which makes education a business is that their style of advertisement and comparison between other institution. The school which has more fees richer parents get interested in that school to admit their children. They start comparing with the students who are learning in government schools. They think that I have more expensive car than their neighbors.

If one who says there is no business in education then why there is a difference between government school and private school. Why not the students belong to government school get facilities which are being given to the private schools. I don't want to say that poor students are not good in studies in fact they do well in their future as we have been watching in news or inspirational movies. But they don't get the things which are essential them in their childhood. Why they get ashamed in front of the children who are studying in private and expensive school.

If these things are happening then there is really a business of education. As today's scene we are watching, it's not good for better future of children. We are ruining their childhood. Neither government nor schools responsible for that but we are responsible for that. The comparison of life style among the society is responsible for the business of Education.

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.

Hello everyone.

We are going to discuss a topic that the education industry is business these days.

Private teaching and businessmen are taking greedy advantages of marks oriented competition.

Nowadays parents are more worried about children's future in today's competitive world thus private institute is taking benefit of people's sentiment to earn money. So the education industry is becoming business these days.

Disadvantages of this are.

1. Poor and talented student get deprived of good education in top universities.

2. Students mentality tends towards mark system rather than gaining practical knowledge.

In my opinion, the education industry became a money-making policy.

Change in this education system is necessary. And changes are made in the education system by implementing New education policy pattern 2020.

New education pattern will reduce private teaching demand and will focus on the overall development of every student. Gov school will get developed.

Hoping for a new education policy should bring a good change in the education system.

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.

Good morning to one & all.

Today's group discussion topic is about "Education industry is a business these days". Absolutely it is a business they were collecting more fee to pay. Even for a normal child who are just joined in a kinder garden should have to pay the fee which is equivalent to the fee paid by the students who are studying higher standards. Of course, they were collecting that much of fee by providing some comforts like AC classrooms, swimming, scatting, yoga, meditation & for higher level classes they were providing IIT foundation from sixth or seventh standards. Among them what is the use of AC rooms & IIT course foundation. In olden days children who are interested to get the education they used to go for the school & studied under the tree, why because in those days they were no classrooms as like now. Even though there are so many people who had become so talented. That's why in these days the level of education is decreasing. There is a principle that if we study well, we can get good marks if we can get good marks we can get a good job then after we can settle in our life with professional & financial comforts. But today this principle is not working for all.

Parents & their children are attracted to join in such reputed schools & colleges, it May be because of prestigious issues or financial strengths. Every parent used to tell to his/her child that if you study well you can enjoy your rest of the life with all comforts & benefits. But nowadays parents are providing all the comforts without showing the meaning of struggle. Children should have to know about their strengths & reality. Finally, I want to conclude the point, there are two reasons to become an educational industry is a business these days. Firstly parents should change their mindsets they should not force their child to study particular thing & they should give priority for best education & not for the silly aspects. The second one is the government should need to make a step forward for the best education in government schools & also try to decrease the fee for corporate schools. There should be at least 10-20% seat reservation for poor students in corporate schools.

Hello everyone !

In my opinion, education industry become a business these days because many private schools have their own rules, their fee structure, their dress code. There is no such law to restrict them. People hire the mens for marketing their schools.

In competive coaching, many coaching organisation charge a great amount of money for teaching.

So, nowadays education industry became a business.

Hello everyone.

I am going to share my views on the education industry is business these days.

Nowadays education is used as a business. Nowadays you can see the fees of students, in some schools fees of even first-class student is 10000. Some private school increase percentage of students for showing off. Beside of school fees they earn lots of money including fees of uniforms, bus, books, copies and some function etc.

But a middle-class family cannot pay all fees. So it should be fixed by govt how much fees of student a school can take.

Govt should also improve the condition of govt school and these should also become English schools so that parents may relief from extra payment.

Thank you.
