Privatization of Professional Education in India
IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION
Education is the process of instruction aimed at all round development of children. Education dispels ignorance. It is the only wealth that can not be stolen. Learning includes the moral values and improvement of the nature and methods to increase the strength of mind.
HIGHER AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IN INDIA
Higher education in India is out of breath in time when India seeks to become a major player in the emerging knowledge economy. With nearly 300 universities and deemed universities, over 15,000 hundreds of colleges and research institutes and regional, indigenous education and research than is the third largest in the world in terms the number of students who supplies a.
However, not a single Indian university will not even mention in a recent international ranking of the 200 best universities in the world except one IIT Kharagpur ranked 41, while there were three universities each from China, Hong Kong and South Korea and one in Taiwan.
On the other hand, it is also true that no company or institution in the world who have benefited from the graduates, post-graduate doctors of India is NASA, IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Bell, Sun, Harvard, MIT, Caltech, Cambridge or Oxford, and not all students are products of our IITs, IIM, IISC / or universities TIFR center, catering to just one percent of the student population of India. This does not mean that we should cherish the back of the achievements of our students abroad, but to point out that India higher education institutions have not been able to achieve the same status for themselves and the students seem to get their education elsewhere from here.
While many reasons can be cited for this situation, they all boil down to decades of feudal institutions administered in colonies as a model run with inadequate funding and excessive political interference. Only about 10 percent of the total population of students between higher education India, compared with more than 15 percent in China and 50 percent in major industrialized countries. Higher education is largely funded by the state and central governments so far, but the situation is changing rapidly. Except for the few newly established private universities, government funds most the universities, while at the university level, the balance is increasingly being reversed.
LA PRIVATIZATION EXPERIENCE
The experience of recent decades has clearly demonstrated that education unlike school, privatization has not led to a significant improvement in standards of higher education and professional. However, in the period prior to economic reforms in 1991, the IMF, World Bank and countries that control them have been crying hoarse over the alleged pampering of higher education in India in the cost of education. The fact of the matter is that school education and was privatized to the extent that public schools became an option only for those who can not afford private schools proliferate every corner, even in small towns and villages. On the other hand, higher education and professional courses, relatively better quality of education and infrastructure has been available only in government schools and universities, while private institutions of higher education in India capitalized on fashion courses a minimum of infrastructure.
However, successive governments over the past two decades have only followed a path of privatization and deregulation higher education, regardless of which political party ran the government. From Punnaiah committee on reforms in higher education created by Narasimha Rao's government to the Birla-Ambani commission created by the Vajpayee government, the only difference is in degree of adaptation to market forces, not fundamentals of its recommendations.
With the result, the last decade has witnessed many dramatic changes in higher and professional education: For example, thousands colleges and private institutes offering IT courses throughout the country appeared in the 1990s and disappeared in less than a decade, with devastating consequences for students and teachers who depended on them for their careers. This situation is happening now with the management, biotechnology, bioinformatics and other emerging areas. Nobody asked questions about opening or closing of these institutions, or worried if qualified teachers at all, much less worry about teacher-student ratio, floor area ratio, classrooms, laboratories, libraries, etc. All of these regulations which existed at a time (although not always strictly enforced time that there were bribes to collect) have now been deregulated or softened under the self-financing of higher education and professional approved by the UGC in the ninth plan five years, and enthusiastically followed by central and state governments.
This situation came to an end recently in the new state of Chattisgarh, where more than 150 schools and private schools came in a couple of years, until the scam got exposed by a public interest litigation and the courts ordered the state government in 2004 to provide low and close most of these universities or merge with the rest of the known. A whole generation of students and teachers are suffering irreparable harm to his career because of these trends, through no fault of theirs. Even the government-funded colleges and universities Most states began many "self-financing" courses in computers, biotechnology, etc, without qualified teachers, labs or infrastructure and charging huge fees for students and are given freely marks and grades to hide their shortcomings.
Not that other well-established services and courses in government-funded colleges and universities are doing any better. Decades of government neglect, poor funding, the prohibition Frequently faculty hiring and promotions, reduced library budgets, lack of investments in modernization leading to obsolescence of equipment and infrastructure, and the tendency to start new universities on political grounds, without the consolidation of existing today threatens the entire system of higher education.
Another corollary of this trend is that a recognized educational institution in a particular state does not have to limit its operations to that state. This meant that universities approved by the governments of Himachal Pradesh and Chattisgarh can establish branches in Delhi and Noida, which are more likely to get students from families wealthy who can afford their astronomical fees. Moreover, they are not even accountable to local governments, since its recognition is due to a state far away. Add this culture of a new brand or private educational institutions that allows franchisees to manage their places away courses, without incurring responsibility to students or teachers in any other way. This is becoming a trend with foreign universities, especially among those who do not want to start their own shop here but I would take the purchasing power of the degrees, the growing economic upward mobile class of India. Soon we see the private educational institutions to get themselves listed in the stock market and seek investment in the education business on the motto that demand will not see the sunset.
The economy the imparting higher education are such that, except for some courses in the arts and humanities, imparting quality education in science, technology, engineering, medicine, etc. requires large investments in infrastructure, all of which can not be recovered through student fees, not to make higher education accessible to a broad student sector. Unlike most best-known private educational institutions in Western countries that operate in the way of charity with the registration exemptions and scholarships (which is one reason why our students go there), most private colleges and universities in India are pursuing the interests of profit. This is the basic reason for charging huge fees for tuition, in addition to the forced donations, capitation fees and other charges. Despite discontent huge public and media interventions many court cases, governments have not been able to regulate the fee structure and donations in these institutions. Even courts have only played with terms such as payment seats, management fees, etc., without addressing the basic issue of fee structure.
PRIVATIZATION OF TEACHER EDUCATION
"The destiny of India is shaped in the classroom." This is the first sentence Report Kothari Education Commission (1964-1966). What type of actual destination has been profiled during the past sixty years? There are thousands of schools lack basic necessities. The position of the economic status of the teacher is also poor compared to the U.S. teachers. Most teachers see the educational institutions are under private sector control. The main objective of private organizations is profit.
It's not only students but Teachers also are on the receiving end of the ongoing transformation in higher education and professional. The nation today witnessed the declining popularity of teaching as a profession, not only among the students produce, but also among parents, scientists, society and government. The Profession Teachers today attracts only those who have lost all other "better" opportunities in life, and is increasingly mired in bureaucratic controls and fighting concepts of education, such as "time" teaching "load", "paid by the hour," contractual ", etc. Teachers With privatization reduce education to a commodity, are reduced to the class teachers and teaching is reduced to practice. The rise of consumerism and the differences increasing salary between teachers and other professionals and the value systems of emerging market economies have done so without teaching a less attractive professions requiring more work for less pay. However, society expects teachers not only for but also be inspired to make a very inspiring!
CURRENT STATUS OF TEACHER EDUCATION
Permission is granted by the regional centers NCTE to the number of teacher training institutions / Schools especially in the private sector alone. Take, for example, in Andhra Pradesh, more than 300 B. Ed colleges in the private sector without help and there are fewer than 20 schools B. Ed in government and aided sector. Is there some sort of supervision either by the university authorities or public officials or officials of NCTE regarding the availability of staff during the college days, the appropriate assistance of the students, proper organization and functioning of the various programs B. Course Ed? This is a questionable validity. The first and foremost authority control to run B. Ed Program is the question of the university. The concerned officials of the university have to make frequent surprise visits to schools B. Ed under its jurisdiction. If the gaps identified, steps can be taken immediately to eliminate most soon as possible, and then only as B. Ed programs can be improved.
In most of the private B.Ed. schools in the state of Andhra Pradesh, there are two or three teachers only. In some universities, there are no selection committees of these schools. The divisions of the schools are run according to their whims and fantasies. In most situations, they are charging Rs.6000 / – for a set of B.Ed. records that cost around Rs.300 / – on the market. Pay less Rs. 5000 / – for teachers. They are collecting huge amounts of students under the head, "practical exams," "study tours, etc. that allow less than 20% of students attending the exams by collecting large quantities of them. Some privately owned resort to all kinds of activities of fraud. So who is going to straighten these things? The first and foremost concerned university affiliation, then the state government and at NCTE regional and national level. Honest People with surprise visits can improve the situation.
CONCLUSION
India is a country developing. Different types of religious people who live in the country. We have a thousand years of tradition and culture. Now we are living in the technological and modern world. Due globalization a lot of changes that occur. Education is a primary need for all in society. It is the duty of government to provide free education for all until age 14. All people have no opportunity to study the higher and vocational education. Now most professional educational institutions are under the control of private organizations. Especially all teachers of education institutions are in the private sector. The main objective is to obtain private sector benefits. How can we expect a quality education? It is not possible to study Medicine or Engineering for a poor student progress in society. It is necessary to establish more and more professional and higher education institutions in the country. Maestro is a national builder. It has a capacity to change the world. There are some benefits losses due to privatization of professional education. But India is a developing country. It is better to all professional educational institutions the government sector. Only then is it possible to study all kinds of courses for children and poor area of India will become the world's developed countries.
