In my paradigm, privatisation must be favoured because it improves the quality of education. Secondly, it also mitigates the corruption in government schools where bribery and money eating is a common feature. In the meantime, government should have some control over private runner education institutions and school because these privately run schools ask huge fees. They have their commission with cloth seller books and stationery seller. Every year they change the dress code of students, books. People are forced to buy new books and school dresses for their children when older ones can be used. A common dress code and common syllabus should be adopted in all private schools.

Hello, my friends,

Privatization of Higher education system is the need of the hour. But this should be done with the good policy such that it does not become a source of earning without any limits. As we can take the example of America and my other developed country where privatization of higher education have been fruitful but it cost like anything. In a growing country like India where education is not afforded by the large section of the society, privatization at starting level should be launched as the pilot project under the watch of some independent body. Government funded Central level universities and colleges have performed well so far but miles to go to improve State funded Colleges and Universities.

No, I don't think so privatization education should be there because they are doing business, their main purpose is to earn profits. Not developed the students. Acc.to me government Should abolish all the private institution and other side government Need to improve the government Institution facilities. Thanks.

Privatization of basic amenities like health, education, food should never be done. Otherwise, a large section of people will be deprived of it. It is necessary that there should be government interference in the education sector. Else Institutes will just become the profit making bodies.

According to my point of view,

Private universities are good as well as needed but there must be an equivalence of private universities as well as government universities.

The government must increase their universities and higher education to grass root level so that many students can go for government universities. But there are lakhs of students which can not be always afforded by government universities seats at that point I think private institutions are required either there will be a great pressure on government institutions.

Private universities must keep some quota for the students who can't afford the high fees structure of private universities so that every child get an education and none is left out.

In my pint of view.

Privatization of education does not give the god results. Because in private colleges they work for god fame for their you = institute but not for every student life.

In that also they are very following good rules and regulations but they are not like with interaction of students. For example, a dreamed university has 1000 students if it is = is soo god means as it provides high qualified education and good faculty all get a good result but many of them fail in a subject. So if the students are interested in learning and if the government provides good facilities and also concern about the result and faculty we can get the result.

But due to lack of that much investment of money government not provide more colleges if private institutions are mingled with government and with some exams give some scholarships more students also allowed to good holders.

I think, if all these will be privatized every citizen would not be able to get education, like many people, are below poverty line how will they arrange fees and all and maybe if we'll privatize higher education there will be only business, I'm not saying they won't provide education but somewhere seats will be given to those first who have tight pockets.

I agree with privatising the higher education. Government college won't provide a better knowledge. They have no facilities also.

When we say privatisation, will they do it for free for those who can't afford? Do you have an alternate for those who will skip joining their children in schools as they can't pay fees, in fact they will turn into child labours!

Complete privatisation is a no-no. But, can the government make sure the quality of education in government school is good? Can government open schools in every district covering every single house in our country? It is happening in developed nations like US.

If they can't, I would either like part of school activities are privatised. Even private schools give extra curricular activities to outsiders. Likewise, teachers and teaching privatised including headmasters, whereas inspection/audits should be done by government. If this sounds as though whether private people need watchdog from government, I have an alternative.

Government can provide few basic education which is useful for every citizen and let other activities or skills be learnt from private institutions whoever can afford it. I mean to say that in the basic knowledge, government should make sure everybody gets it equally of good quality for free.

Even if this doesn't seem to be a good idea, we may have to brainstorm more on how does government has to contribute for making education in India better and complete privatisation is not solution!

My mind about privatisation of education is totally supporting the idea but keeping view India as the poor country there should be the reservation of some seats for the poor and the government should interfere at two levels in privatised institutions list by providing an extra constitutional body which can keep eye 24\7 on the management and quality of education in order to curb the commercialisation of education. Second to provide subsidy based education to the needy.
