Education

The experience of recent decades have clearly shown that, unlike school education, privatization has not led to significant improvement in the levels of higher education and vocational training. But in the rush for economic reforms in 1991, the International Monetary Fund , World Bank and countries' control of them have been crying hoarse on the alleged welfare of higher education in India at the expense of education. The fact is that the school> Education had been privatized to the extent that the public schools an option only for those who can not private schools mushroom in every street can afford it, even in small towns. On the other hand, are in higher education and professional courses, the relatively better quality education and infrastructure are available only in colleges and universities, and private institutions of higher education in India capitalized on fashioncourses with minimal infrastructure.

But governments have followed in the past two decades has had only one road to privatization and deregulation of higher education, regardless of which political party ran the government. Punnaiah committee on higher education reform introduced by the Narasimha Rao government Birla-Review Committee established by the Vajpayee government, the only difference is in their degree of conformity with market forces andnot the basis of their recommendations.

As a result, the last decade has witnessed many radical changes in higher education and vocational training, for example, think of thousands of private schools and institutes offering IT courses throughout the country since the late 1990 and disappeared in less than a decade, with disastrous consequences for students and teachers, who depend on them for their careers. This situation is now repeating itself in control,biotechnology, bioinformatics and other emerging areas. No question about the opening or closing of these institutions, or is preoccupied with qualified teachers at all, much less concerned about the teacher-pupil ratio of floor area, classrooms, laboratories, libraries, etc. All these rules, which consist of at a time (but not always strictly enforced, as long as there is the collection of bribes) has been issued, or soften with auto-financing system of higher education andformation adopted by the UGC in the 9th Five-Year Plan and enthusiasm, followed by central and state authorities.

This situation reached its extreme recently in the new state, Chhattisgarh, where more than 150 private universities and colleges came to a few years until the scam was exposed by a public interest litigation and the courts have decided that the provincial government in 2004 to cancel and close the majority of these universities or merge withremaining approved them. A whole generation of students and teachers suffer irreparable harm to their careers because of these trends, not their fault. Even the state-funded colleges and universities in most states started many of the "self-financing" courses in computer science, biotechnology, etc., without qualified teachers, laboratories and infrastructure, and collecting huge fees from students and liberals, and giving their marks and grades to hide their incompetence.

It's not that good of othersservices established in schools and courses financed by public funds and universities, did not fare better. Decades of government neglect, poor funding, the general prohibition of faculty recruitment and promotions, reductions in library budgets, lack of investment in modernization leader of obsolescence of equipment and infrastructure, and the tendency to start new universities for political reasons, consolidate without the threat today throughout higher educationsystem.

Another consequence of this trend is that an educational institution recognized by a particular state not to restrict its activities to the State. This means that universities are approved by the governments of Chattisgarh in Himachal Pradesh to set up branches in Delhi and Noida, where they are most likely to prepare students for the wealthy families who can afford to pay exorbitant taxes. What is more, are not responsible for the local authorities, because their recognitionfrom a distant country. Add to that a new culture of agencies, both branded and private training for franchisees to run their course without being responsible for students or teachers in another way. It is becoming a trend with foreign universities, especially among those who do not want to put their business here, but I want the benefit of the degree of purchasing power is growing in economy class of mobile telephony in India. Soon we canprivate educational institutions to see for themselves in the stock market and encourage investment in education for the slogan that its application will never see the sun.

The economy of transition in higher education is such that, except for a couple of courses of Humanities, send high-quality training in science, technology, engineering, medicine, etc. requires large investments in infrastructure, which can not be recovered by midfees, without higher education inaccessible to many students. Unlike many private schools, better known in western countries who are in love with teaching forgiveness and scholarships (which is one reason why our students go there), most private colleges and universities in India, made a profit. This is the basic reason for collecting high tuition fees, apart from forced donations, capitation fees and other charges.Despite considerable public discontent, the media and many reasons not the actions of governments were able to adjust the fee structure and donations in these institutions. Although the courts have only played with the concepts, such as the seats of payment, quota management, etc., without changing the fundamental question of the tariff structure.
