Quality of higher education is emerging as a
hugely profitable business opportunity. A
range of private enterprise to fly-by-night
operators, are making a beeline for the sector.
It is neither feasible nor desirable for the state
to stem this tide. Rather, the state’s role
should be to modulate this enthusiasm to
maximize social welfare. The first step should
be to dump the fairy tale that education is a
sacred mission and cannot be permitted to
do business. Allow companies to run
educational institutions as well-run business
that have transparent accounts and declare
dividends. Entry to private funds into higher
education is not a case for the state to
withdraw from the sector. Rather, the state
must deepen its involvement and give it a
different shape.
46. The Govt. has enough resources to run
all the educational Institutions.
47. All educational institutions run by
private companies provide quality
education.
48. Entry of private companies into
education sector will benefit the
society at large.
49. Many business houses have entered
education sector to earn visibility in
the market.
50. The Govt. should restrict entry of
private companies into education
sector.
