Factors leading to growth of Private Institutions in Education
Concept of Privatization in Indian Education System
To ensure effectiveness of curriculum transaction in classroom
Although privatization has paced the growth in educational system as discussed in previous articles, there are few concerns which should not be overlooked. They are:-
1) Under representation of the weaker
sections: Education should be holistic in
nature. But the marginalized sections still struggle for entry in private
institutions due to high fee structure. Thus, education once again becomes a
privilege to be enjoyed by the elite class.
2) Quality of Education; It is general notion that private
schools /colleges provide quality education when compared to government schools/colleges.
However, when it comes for higher and professional education the government run
centres of excellence like IIT’s, IIM’s, AIIM etc are still the first choice of
students.
3) Commercialization of Education: Treating education as a business to
get maximum returns has led to commercialization of education. Many private
educational institutions charge hefty fees while students do not get full value
for their money. Teachers are compensated inadequately, hired and fired at the
owner’s will. Even teachers without proper qualification are recruited. All
these also affect the quality of education. Infact, these institutions exist
only for reaping money.
Therefore,
it can be said that privatization is important to expand education
qualitatively as well as quantitatively. The government should take both the
pros and cons of privatization and encourage it to achieve economic development
while discouraging commercialization so that all sections of society can
benefit.
