I want to add some more points as we all know that in pvt colleges or schools teachers are paid well and they are having threat that they will lose their job that why they concentrates of every student and they are very much serious about what inputs they are giving to their students but in case of government colleges they don't even bother whether students are attending the classes properly or not, their main aim to to get the salary. They don't even think of students future. Due to this lots many intelligent students from poor or middle class families are getting suffered they are having the capability but because of fees structure they can't join the private college.

Hi, my name is Amandeep and I am glad to present my views on increasing privatization of higher education.

Now-a- days government is providing money, bicycles/uniforms to the students attending government schools, thus make education free. As a response to this initiative of the government, many students got admissions in government schools. Also girls education got promoted. But unfortunately, no steps are taken to improve the standard of education. In-fact, the number of students is more than the capacity of the class. We cannot deny the fact that, majority of government teachers prefer their children should study in private schools rather than the government schools, providing an example of low quality education being given in the government schools. Private schools, in no doubts, provide better education and exposure to the students, thus making them independent and decisive.

Now if we consider quality of higher education, in government and private colleges and universities, of-course, government colleges are better. The private colleges and universities which provide quality education are few in number and very costly. As a result, many students feel difficult to carry on with their studies any longer. It is the sole responsibility of the government to make policies that can provide impartial education to all the children. After all, education can bring innovation and our nation need youngsters that can work for the betterment of the country.

The government should ensure that the upcoming private universities/colleges/institutes should have genuine fees structure, talented faculty, well equipped labs, libraries, scholarships.

Now-a-days, we come across the news of corruption, making false degrees/certificates, bribes to get admissions in reputed colleges. All these incidents weaken our education system. Government should make strict policies to avoid such incidents and non-adherence to the policies should me made punishable. We need a strong law to impart quality education.

Privatization in education is inevitable. I would like all of you to note that in 2011 only 5000 students got admission in IIT out of 300000 students. So what do you expect the other students to go. Take up a field which is of not their choice. As we all know IIT is a government institute so the other students force fully have to go for private sector for higher education or go abroad, which also is very costly. Ya for sure privatization needs to lower its fees, but it doesn't makes privatization bad.

Privatization of colleges is not a good step in imparting quality education to the students. Though it is impossible for everyone to get admitted in government colleges, but at the same time government should have a check on the quality of education being provided in the private colleges. There is a call for private universities with the rapidly increasing number of students but at the same time one should see that the quality of education is good at those private universities. The major problem in private universities are those like, lack of proper laboratories, lack of other important equipment and materials through which the practical application of a particular theory or topic can be realized. Apart from that they have made education a business. There is no control on the fee which are to be paid by the students. They are selling a degree for money thus degrading the standard of a particular degree. It is now desired that government should at least see the standard of education in those private universities and should have some laws for controlling the fee for a particular degree so that students from economically backward section does not face much problem. It is also justified that the government should also see the quality of education not only the quantity. Otherwise quality of education will keep on decreasing.

As far as India concern, it is better that edcation becomes privat beacause in private scools and collage the staff or director board has to improve thier techjnic to teach the students, in government we are laging behind in education beacause of sake of instruments and in villages especially teaching staffs, negative side of privetisation, the feesof that is very high so government shoud abonden its price somewhat. Main matter of government's unsuccess is that it giving salary to the employee is very less some what 3rd or 4th partition of salary of private section so talented person won't like to work with this salary would like to work with this salary.

Privatization of higher education has both good and bad. Good is that because in pvt. Colleges every faculty have not a permanent authority. So, They teach their students properly to got a better result. If they not, They can be expelled out. And bad is that Pvt. Colleges has more fees which is not affordable by every person. Everyone have a desire to get admission in good college to become their future bright. In India, there are few Government colleges but syllabus will have not been updated since 1980s. Every teacher in government colleges consider himself a director. They don't care about students future. And wants to get free in whole day. They have made a benefit from their senior students to order him to take his classes And himself wants to be a tension free. So, government should make a policies just like don't make a senior teacher permanent. They should signed a bond between them if they could give him a good results, then their will be next bond signed. By doing this our government colleges will definetly improved and every student passed from the respective colleges becomes a intellectual. And our countries gain a more that they required.

While India can boast of having the third largest higher education system in the world, reality is that India is facing a severe shortage of skilled human resources. The reason for such a contrasting situation is the extremely low quality of primary, secondary, and college-level education in India. A possible way-out from this situation is privatization of the education system, which is predominantly public at present.

Privatization is nothing but making our India back because not only rich people but also lower class and middle class families also have intelligent children and they want to study further in good institutions but financial problems create much stress upon them and students get a lot of stress and sometimes it make them so desperate that they think to commit suicide thus who loose the talent, our community, our country.

So I think students must given a chance to prove them.
