Current Scenario

Due to the rise of private institutions, the world has been able to produce more
educational opportunities in different areas. Nowadays, we have special educational
institutions for some unique and uncommon fields too. Due to privatization of
education, people are able to develop private institutions offering high end education
in different fields.

Currently, private schools in India have gained 17million students. Between the
periods of 2010-2016, the enrolment of students in private schools has significantly
increased. Especially, in urban areas, parents tend to look for private schools or
education institutes instead of government schools. There are factors like the quality
of education, the extracurricular activities, safety features, participation in practical
events etc. that attract the parents towards the private schools.

Also, it is surveyed that the government school teachers are paid 4 times more
compared to the private teachers in China as well as India but don’t perform as
productively as them. Also, the amount Indian government dedicates to education is
3% of its GDP which is very low contribution compared to the other BRICS countries.
Looking at the facilities and educational benefits students get from private
institutions, parents are undeniably inclined towards private institutes.

Quick facts about Privatization of Education

in mid 20’s compared to the students with low socio-economic background
studying in government schools.
