Privatization of Higher Education

First of all I would like to thank for giving me such a great opportunity to express my views on this topic. I am totally against of privatizing education institute, because INDIA is a democratic country. Every person has equal right for to be educated. But if education is put up in the hand of MNCs, there will be very bad result.

It means that not only Indian companies but also foreign companies will come to make their profit. The poor will remain poor, they wound, t be able to eradicate their poverty. And the private sector including MNCs shall contaminate our great historical background. Please think about the situation when a British teacher will call our national father MAHATMA GANDHI as a rebel. So please save our education. Government should think about.

Hi there! If we talk about ideal things then privatization in higher education will really create problems for those who belongs to poor background. But if we look at ground reality of education system in the India. It is not good. Education ratio is less compare to other countries. Somewhere government has failed to provide good and sufficient education, so privatization had born in the field of education and became a business. Although they are providing quality of education but only some students can able to afford their fees. Privatization is also creating jobs. Privatization is good until government has some control over it. Government must apply some rules in sake of poor students. They should apply some reservation system for poor students in fees.

The Government should take over- say NO to privatization, if using only money to buy politicians (Horse Trading) is illegal, so should be the compromise for merit versus money in private colleges- where you buy a degree you may not deserve by paying money.

It also churns out poor quality and false value systems. Like even, if I am not deserving, I get a job in MNC, gloat about myself etc. These colleges falsely rationalize poor quality.

Consider this- IPS/PPS or local police inspector all can become SSP- but they get promoted at different speeds. But Due to privatization of engineering- there being no way to measure or delineate- you will find them getting into senior positions that they don't deserve. This amounts to cheating the system/society.

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 this is Vikash I totally oppose privatization of education as though the quality of education being provided there be good but the process the use for selecting candidate should be changed from money based to education based through a entrance test. Because if a student get admitted in such colleges with huge fee structure but. Not best for such field will lead to the wastage of money if the don't get placed or don't get job. So if it should then it should take totally refined students for that particular course.

Because taking admission on basis of money can give satisfaction for few time but can ruin whole future of students because student lacking basic knowledge for that education can't be able for higher studies for that field.

I think privatization of education will have both good and bad effects. Private institutes have high fees so the poor cannot afford the fee. Admission to the colleges without any entrance tests would compromise the quality of students. But in government colleges have low fee so the poor can also afford but it has limited seats so where do you expect the rest of the students would go. Again in government colleges, teacher doesn't much care about the performance of students. Students are deprived of gaining communication skills. I think with the implementation of entry level test in private colleges and intervention of government as a regulatory check on the private institutes and keeping fee low, we can privatize the education.

Privatisation of higher education is necessary - as we say govt of India spending lakhs of rupees on students studying in iits and nit and inturn after pass out in aspect of huge money they provide their services to foreign companies and mainly responsible for declination of countrys economy and mainly for brain drain.

ON OTHER HAND.

Students studying in private colleges are giving their services to Indian companies at cheaper rates without any complaint and giving benefit to country economy and in private colleges there is no such such well equipped labs and professors like iits and nits, from private institutions students also go abroad and providing their services to other foreign companies but their no is less.

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.

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.

According to me privatization is not totally bad because the quality of education provided in private colleges is always better than that in government colleges because in pvt. colleges the teachers know that if they are not giving their best for the students. They are out. Whereas the teachers in government colleges are just working for the sake of their job security. Government collages didn't take much care and conecern on each student the lecturers in these colleges are simplly take the clases and they didn't concentrate on students performance wheather he is uderstanding or not. Where as in the private collages they are concentarting on the student's performance regularly and help him to score good marks.
