  • Has education in India become business?

According to my point of view, to run a school, college or an university with one and only purpose of making money is wrong. Unfortunately, there are some of the private colleges in India that take donations from students without giving them the receipts, in turn, proving to be a source of ‘black money’. These colleges act as the smokeless industries whose raw materials are parents and students. Furthermore, it is seen that the entrance exams are not conducted in a fair way due to which deserving candidates are not able to gain entry to colleges due to financial problems. It is very easy to do business in education.

To stop all this, the governments should interfere by instituting a strict quality system of Key Performance Indicators which conserve the entity of education and also provide strong support to public education at all levels in order to give equal opportunity to all students.

What is your opinion on this? Discuss.

    Ankit Education will always be a business with a motive of educating children. Nothing wrong in educating children and earning money. Wrong starts when the sole purpose becomes doing business. And yes seeing the present scenario in India it seems like it has become business oriented rather than service oriented.

      Ankit As I see, people are getting lured to open institutes and tuition centres just because somebody else is earning a lot of money..I think there are very few people who genuinely educate students..So majorly it has become like business.

        Unfortunately, Yes, this is the bitter truth

        Education has become a big profitable business, especially higher education where you have to pay hundreds of rupees and eventually get a certificate. Students do not develop skills. The management of my college was always trying to get extra money from the students.
