The Importance of Privatization in Higher Education

Abstract

In India, the privatization of higher education has resulted in the creation of new educational policies and programs that will enhance opportunities for employment, income, and economic growth on a national and worldwide scale. The trajectory of Indian education has quickly changed. To address the rising need for education, this privatization has motivated both individuals and society to form private schools, colleges, and universities. As a result, private educational institutions are expanding nationwide on a daily basis. In light of this, the current study aims to analyze the function of higher education, with a focus on India's privatization of higher education. It draws attention to the fact that many private institutions operate opaquely and infrequently offer high-quality education. India has the third-largest higher education system in the world. India's Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) for the academic year 2017–18 was about 25.8%. This essay makes an effort to examine the function of privatization in higher education and how it successfully upholds educational standards at various levels.
