Education is made business these days; this is mainly due to
increase in no of schools and colleges. Privatization of educational
institutions is also one more cause for it. Effects of it are like two sides of
a coin, one is more people can able to study and get degrees and second one is
they concentrate only on intelligent students, they make them as group and they
are taught by professors for getting better results, leaving average students
who are being taught by junior lecturers. This is similar example to "RICH
getting RICHER and POOR getting POORER". Universities in many countries
are offering dual degree if they study in that university for just one year,
but actual course will be for three or four years, this is only means for
getting money. Now a day’s parent are in illusion that more is the fee, much
excellent is that institution, it might be true in some institutions but it is
not true with all institutions. Some institutions make profits by offering limited
seats with more fee and some institutions make profits by offering more seats
with less fee. All educational institutions may not be like this, some may be
genuine. Government should take steps to avoid this.
The more I think about how higher education is structured
these days, the more I think it has become a business, putting shareholder
demands (i.e. corporate partners) first and students last.
The pursuit for funding and keeping budget costs down has led to universities increasing their number of students beyond capacity and diluting the quality of education by hiring "lecturers" or "instructors". Part of it is probably a byproduct of this notion that higher education should be accessible to everyone and I am not saying it shouldn't be. However, it seems that universities are simply providing students with a taste, a sample, of academia by hiring low-cost lecturers in order to make the most of the tuition they receive. Sure, these students might emerge with a degree but it is one that lacks the fundamental elements which originally made it sought after namely, critical thought and a desire to seek out truth in the world. Instead, students are being seeded with only the skills and knowledge necessary for entry into a corporate partner's offices. In this sense, higher education has simply become a product, a process designed to mold students into the ideal employee for businesses, a far cry from what universities were meant to do.

I know it may sound like a sort of "academic elitism" to say that universities have lost their way but I am concerned with the quality of education today in universities and the impact that will leave on our society. An interested student can study in government institutions...even the students who can’t effort for higher studies can work hard and get scholarships and stipends in the universities.. even the banks are providing loans for the students who really work hard... so even the education is becoming more commercialized the talented student can make their dreams to come true... we should not look for opportunities and chances we have to go for chances and grab them...and a DIAMOND is DIAMOND Everywhere...........
Nowadays there is demand in coaching classes
and there are made a good business of education some of the classes have opened
their own schools and colleges. And so students are not attending schools and
colleges they prefer to go in coaching classes a very good example from movie
called ‘AARAKSHAN ‘. In this movie they gave more preference on coaching
classes that they demand higher fees for education and rich people are ready to
give higher fees but the question is what about the poor student how they will
get education whether it may be schools and colleges or coaching classes ? this poor students or any
students who are weak in studies they can’t afford the higher fees for getting
education and so it lead to social
degradation of students life so for this reason some students commit suicides
also.
so i would like to conclude that our
future is going to be in danger if this continues in future so I recommend that
stop those people from making a
education a business
