I think privatization of higher education should be there but with certain conditions. Government should have control on the fee structure of pvt. Colleges. Some of seats should be reserved for those students who are poor but are intelligent. Scholarship should be given to the poor students belonging to SC ST OBC

Hello my name is Abha and after listen to all of you I want to say that if we want to make our education system better it is not necessary that we privatised our education system completely but both government and private institution can collaborate to provide better system. We all know that private education institution demand very high fees from children which poor families cannot afford and till India share only 6% of student went to college for higher education and steps like this of privatisation of education may reduce this percentage.

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.

I think yes it should & why not. When one can invest to buy a car. When one can take loan to build house then why can't one borrow to get educated after all it will be an income generating asset. Privatization doesn't only mean high fee structure and raising standards of living it also means quality education. In fact we should open the windows and look outside the box we've been living in.

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.

I totally oppose the privatization of higher studies. Privatization of studies will replicate shutting the doors to poor students. It will enlarge the gap between the poor and rich. Privatization is beneficial for a particular university or college to raise their funds, but I don't think the emphasis to improve the quality of education is even considered. It will ruin the future and opportunities of many talented students.

It is not necessary that only private institution can provide better education we have such a big list of government institution which provide better than others. The thing that matters here is the value every institution gives to education, doesn't matter it is private or government High fee structure of Private institution only increase financial burden on a poor student's family.

Well I opposed privatization for colleges. As far as I know, as a students could afford to enter a private school and so as they could afford to pay for getting high grades just in order to pass such subjects. What is good education for when it can be paid instead of taking an entrance examination to know the field of studies each students could fit in rather than wasting such a long time studying for years when gaining nothing instead. A paid diploma?

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.
