EDUCATION FOR SALE...


India,which was known as the land of education once,is now going to import education.As the UPA government has prepared to present the bill for inviting the foreign universities to give their services in India.The reason being given for this,that millions of the students could not join any college because there is a lack of universities in India.


But I don't think that the lack of universities is the only thing behind this problem.There are many others also.Such as the poor educational infrastructure,lack of facilities and the poor result of the secondary level classes.


But the biggest reason behind that is the unemployment,Yes,most of the students leave study after class 12th because they don't have the funds to get the higher education.

This bill may improve the quality of education in India by creating a fear of competition among the Indian Educational Institutes.But don't you think that it's like accepting the defeat?Our government is not serious to improve the quality of education and the infrastructure of the domestic institutes.


But is this the only solution to solve this problem? No.

The only good thing,this step of government can do for the country is that the students wont have to go abroad for to study in any foreign university.They will be able to get a degree of world class university staying at home.


But will this be cheaper than going abroad?May be not,because if any university will open its campus here in India,they will have to invest and then they will also find ways to earn more profits.So expense wise its not going to be cheaper.

Actually,this is not going to be a solution for this problem,rather its going to create some new problems for the Indian students,as well as the Indian society.


As this will increase the differences between the upper and middle class of Indian society because everyone is not going to be able get the admission in these universities.This will increase the pressure and the competition among the students.

For the upper class it is going to be a status symbol,they will become more snobbish then.The middle and the lower classes will suffer with a feeling of incompatibility.This pressure may also give one more reason to commit suicide to students,as a result the rate of committing suicide by students may be increased.

I think government should try to improve the basic education first and then they should try to increase the number of universities in the country.There is a lack of funds for the colleges.They don't have the enough money to spend on researches.So government should try to look at that side first.Rather than making education a business.
And if they are so eager to do so,they should propose Indian business houses to enter in this field and do something for it.
