Privatization
of education in India introduced new policies and programs to increase
employment, income opportunities and achieve economic development at National
and International level. It has brought about rapid change in the educational
scenario. Privatization encourages the individual and society to establish
schools, colleges and private universities to meet the growing demand for
education.
In India,
privatization of education is not new; it existed even before independence in
the form of so called Public Schools like Doon School, Mayo College and
Christian Missionary Schools and Colleges. They were run by their own Board of
Management without interference of the government. After independence, there
was an expansion of education. Central and State Governments both took
initiatives to establish State-owned or government aided schools. Teachers at
all levels have their salaries determined according to national or state wage
scales. After 1970’s interlinked process of globalization and liberalization
tremendously affected the educational process in India.
A stage was
encountered when government was finding it difficult to meet the democratic
aspirations of the people for further expansion of educational system due to
paucity of resources. On the other hand, the expansion of the horizons of
knowledge was taking place at a rapid pace all over the world. It was therefore
felt that privatization in education be introduced so that it can share the
burden of the government in funding and providing quality education.
Privatization
in education has increased the opportunities by increasing the scope of
admissions in all levels of education. Due to ownership, level of quality
increased in few set-ups to great extent. However, this is not true with all
private organizations. Most of them are meant for financially strong strata of
the society and the poor children are bound to go to government schools. This
has widened the gap between the rich and poor. The emerging new talent is not
at all interested in government schools except Navodaya Vidyalayas and Kendriya
Vidyalayas. Lot of facilities have been provided nowadays to government
educational institutions but there is lack of proper strategy to utilise and
maintain them. As a result people are opting for private schools. On the other
hand owing to such circumstances the private schools are making education their
business commonly termed as ‘Commercialization of Education’.
