Privatization of Higher Education

I totally disagree with my fellow speaker. According to me private institutes are necessary. Having a limited number of government institutes makes it impossible for the youth to get admission in them. What do you expect the rest of the youth to do?

Private institutes contribute in about 90% seats are provided by private institutes. Though I think the admission procedure should be changed. Instead of donations, knowledge should be the main procedure for admission. Government should take measures to monitor the functioning of private institutes so that they do not do what ever they want.

Fist of all I want to thank all of you to giving me this opportunity to share my feelings and emotions on this topic.

According to my perspective, as we all know, education is a must for the development of every country as without education there are no chances of development, so in this respect education is main weapon to improve and eradicate any evils.

Now, I come to the main topic, according to my point of view, as We all know, everything has negative as well as positive factors, so in this way the privation of higher education is good and bad to some extent. Considering all the above points which have been given by my fellow and after reading the above points, I have come to the following points are as under:

Advantage of privation of education in private sectors:

1. Student can't get a better quality education as the teachers in private school, colleges and universities pay much attention towards to students.

2. Student can't do their every work with great management related to their schools work or their personal work joint with their personal life because the private schools pay much attention towards management and discipline as the management and discipline have the major role for every kind of work.

3. They get a better atmosphere with good students.

Disadvantages of privatization of education in private sector:

1. The Private institutions demand for high amount of fees which is not possible for every people as a developing counter like India most of the people are poor so they can not afford so much amount of fees.

2. Money is given prime importance.

Disadvantages of high education in the hands of Government Sectors:

1. In most of the Government Schools, the teachers don't pay much attention towards to students.

2. Because they are interested in their's monthly income and not interested to educate the students.

2. There is no management and discipline and even good atmosphere.

Advantages of privatization of education in government sectors:

1. Because the institution fees are low to some extent, and most the students can approach the institutions in government sector.

2. No doubt, Many of the best government institutes such as IITs, IIMs and NIT.

At last, I would like to say one thing, merit basis admission should be preferred instead of donations.

Thank you, very much to share my feelings.

Hello friends,

I think the higher education must be private because the government is fail to maintain the quality of education. In most of the government colleges the faculties are interested in theirs monthly income. They are not interested to educate the students. Importance of money is higher than education in government colleges. So the quality of students also degraded. The government also started many of campaigns, scholarship programmes for poor students, but they are not reach up to those people who need that, so there's no hope from the government for the education.

My cousin sister won scholarship in NTSE exam in 2011 but till upto this day she did not got this prize money. SO maintain the quality of education privatization is must in higher education.

I think privatization in education is not good for any nation particularly the developing countries like India because education is an only weapon that transforms the developing nation to developed nation. Once education system went to private hand they treat it like a business, rather than providing the quality in education and boosting the education system, they earning the money form schools and colleges without fear of constitutional laws. Many politicians doing the same job and earning money.

Hi friends. I am very glad to share my thoughts here. According to me there is good and bad in privatization. In this competitive world every one wants to gain more knowledge and they prefer to study in good colleges. But all cannot get seat in good colleges, since there are very few seats in government colleges, they depend on private colleges. The management of private colleges take advantage of this factor and they raise the fee as they want. They know that students will take seat compulsory, some where in private college. Government should have control on the fee of private colleges. Some of the private colleges don't have sufficient labs and other materials. Students will have will lack of skills after outcome from college. In-order to eradicate this problem government should campaign the private colleges and they have to check the basic things whether college has or not. Due to the competition private institutes had made education a business. They are playing with life's of the students.

Hello friends,

According to my opinion, privatisation should be there in India to improve the literacy of increasing Indian population; but there should be a limit of no of privatised colleges to maintain the quality of education. Along with privatisation, there should be audit organisation like HRDC/AICTE/NAAC/NBA to quantify the quality of education and to disqualify colleges failing to possess quality.

So, by this way quality education will reach to every area of the country and the power of government also get saved as colleges will get privatised.

Welcome everybody. I feel glad being the part of this group discussion. As we all know this is time of capitalism. Every person who has money can get good education along with good grades. If we talk about boards, there are state or central boards. As we all know the most of private schools are affiliated from central board and this is very easy to pass and take good grade. For poor and rich people government education is more comfortable. Private education is comfortable for rich but not for poor.

Generally there are more intelligent people among poor. According to me education system should not be privatized whether it be primary level or higher level. Because if system is gone in private hand then the private body treat it like a business and what will happen when the business suffer the loss they will shut down their business means close the college or school whatever the condition. In that case only student suffer. Another reason is that every one can not afford the expenditure if the system become privatized. So in that case actual talent may not be emerged.

Hi friends. I am Feroza Siddiqee and I am glad to share my view. Privatization no doubt helps in improving the education system by providing quality education but it is not easy for everyone to pay high amount of fees demanded by private colleges. It is the responsibility of government to provide the same quality education to the poor at the cost affordable by them or by providing funds for the same. Besides this govt colleges should increase their level of education so that everyone can get the proper education and exposure as without education there are no chances of development.

Hello everyone,

After going through many of the viewpoints of the people, many are in favour of Privatization of Education in India. And the people who aren't in favour seem to have only biggest reason behind not agreeing is 'equality'.

Well, we all know that at present there isn't quality education in India, which is resulting the brain drain. To control this brain drain, we need to improve our quality of education. Many people leave India with the issue that the education is not up to the mark.

Moreover, Privatization in Education will lead to expanding the capabilities of the students. Though it will lead to a rise in the fees but I think everyone will be ready to pay the price for quality as we all are ready to pay in malls the printed price of thousands of rupees but bargain with a poor vegetable vendor for 1-2 rupees.

The problem of brain drain could very well be stopped by privatization and I think it is a way long thing to go but should come as soon as possible which could very well help in the growing of the economy and the development of the country at a global scale.

Most of the higher education institutes in the country are already owned by private individuals. There are very few higher education institutes owned by government. These private institutes charge huge amount of fees and only a few of them justify with the amount charged by providing quality education whereas in government institutes fess is low and there are limited number of seats. Also, admissions in government institutes take place on merit basis but this is not so in private institutes. So, privatization of higher education to a certain extent is okay but if it is completely privatized then most of the students won't be able to pursue it because of high fees.
