Privatization in Education

Essay about Privatization in Education

The word education means- a process of teaching, training and learning especially in schools or colleges to improve knowledge and develop skills. It is the key to success. Education is very essential for personality development of an individual. Generally it is responsibility of the state to provide education to its people but, in our country more children go to the school and college run by private sectors.

 Private education has been a fashion of many people in Nepal. Today education has been a commodity of business for some well- off persons in Nepal. There are two types of academic institutions They are government-aided or public and private. Private schools and colleges are also of different types. They are further divided into personal and institutional. Many personal private schools and colleges are established. They are only for profit-making. Public or government institutions are established to provide education to the people but they have been the places guaranteed time-pass for many persons. They have been playgrounds of political parties. Only very few laborious, expert and truthful teachers can be found in such schools. Therefore, the quality of such schools has been decreaseing year by year. On the other side, most people want to send their children to private schools and colleges. It is because the result of such institutions is good. It is because they choose only talent and bright students through entrance. They do not allow admitting poor and dull students in their institutions. Though the marks or positions in private institutions are high, there is vast investment. Almost income of parents has been lost for education but the children are not so capable for any competition. Most of the children with high score are unemployed because of lack of practical and technical knowledge and skills. Only few of the products are able to compete with the students of other countries. Though there are many disadvantages of privatization in education, there are many advantages also. It is said that private institutions are providing quality education. Most of the students of private schools and colleges pass their exams with high marks. They have stopped many children and large money from going foreign countries. The literacy of Nepal has been increasing rapidly. It has been providing the employment for many people. In spite of these advantages, there are serious disadvantages of privatization in education. Profit-making schools and colleges are very expensive. Poor people cannot send their children to private schools, colleges and universities. As a result, there is inequality in education. The teachers and non-teaching employees in some private schools and colleges are poorly paid. Even very small children are badly punished for high marks. In some private schools in the name of maintaining quality education and discipline children are deprived of their rights. Only paper marks and high score are not good result of education. Education should change behaviour of the learners enable them for competition, learn skills needed for income or job. Although there are some weaknesses of privatization education, the contributions of the private academic institutions is praiseworthy but education should be free and useful. First priority or responsibility of education should be taken by government.It should not be made a business.
