Privatisation in education is not good for nation and society because it is way to get out of low socioeconomic person to high level it is duty of government to give free education and quality education if privatisation is present then expensive education.

When we talk about private agent in any field there focus must on surplus benefits, so its agent not much think about education reform they thing on only infrastructure base and that hamper constitutional interest, Indian ethics, standard of education. Better option is private agent work as agent of state and mostly regulation, rules and some space within school for disadvantaged societies.

Then we achieve target as well as we increase the share of GDP for social sector mostly on health and education. Every country as well as India on paper has great achievement in education but we must look on practical ground we understand we are far away. So privatization is important in some extend but not necessary.

Hi everyone, In my opinion Privatization in education should also be encourage to some extent as because corruption is present in both private and government sector and it is not possible for the government to open school in every village or city. We always saw government. Teachers criticizing about the system (lower pay and too much burden) which results in poor quality of education system. In private school quality of education is good but the problem is poor people cannot afford the fees so to make the system compatible they should give scholarships to poor and meritorious student to a large extent.

Thank you for listening me.

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.

The country cannot do away with Privatization of higher education at this stage. Both public and private interference is the need of the hour. The question basically is not of private or public but of good and bad education.

What actually should determine the quality of education is sustained leadership for some period of years. Both public and private education system should have a level playing field.

Here everybody opined about education systems in their own perspective. In my view, there is no need of privatization of education. Education is a compulsory thing for every citizens of a country. It should be preferably managed and controlled by govt itself.

Finding of requirements is included in the responsibilities of that certain govt. If they determine very positively, our education will fruitful. Then no need of privatization. Its need comes from the failure of govt administration. This only my small opinion.

Hi everybody I feel its important that government and private sector should work together as it would be a win win situation for both the sector as well as student enjoy better service provided by the education university at a reasonable price.

Hi everybody I would like to start saying that complete privatization of higher education or handling the entire education system in the hands of government should not be allowed. Privatized organisations are more profit oriented, the only motto is to earn profit on the other hand government organisations are less profit oriented and more into providing service but the disadvantage is the services given by the government is very slow compared to the private sector. As a result there should be privatization of education with regular government interference.

Hi friends I am Asha.

There are both pros and cons in both the sectors. In privatization there are no reservation issues so that there is equal chance for all the students to get admitted into. The desired one can get chance. Yes off-course we see great hike in fee structures which is too difficult to get through but this is because of providing quality education with highly qualified and experienced faculty, strict rules at discipline unlike the government institutions.

The main thing is that private institutions doesn't put interest in individual student future but the institutions growth. So if developments in some areas like reservation, faculty, discipline are taken by the government institutions there is no need of privatization.

Hi, everyone I support privatization with government intervention because in private sector, point of reservation comes to an end and real talent is encouraged and members are exposed globally, and the fees burden on individual is reduced due to government intervention. There is smooth coordination of the institution for further development. Institution can bring real time solutions and becomes part of society which further leads to development of country.
