New Delhi: In an effort to facilitate the entry of private players in
the higher education set-up, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has
proposed four new models to the Planning Commission for the forthcoming 12th
Plan Period.
The proposals for new private
partnership models for expansion of higher education sector in the country come
in view of the needs of the education sector in the country, which according to
estimates require investment of over US $ 150 billion (Ashamed of INR?)in next
10 years.
The four proposed models are:
basic infrastructure model in which the private sector invests in
infrastructure and the
government runs the operations and management of the institutions, in turn,
making payments to the private investor.
The second
proposed model is outsourcing model in which private sector
invests in infrastructure and runs operations and management and the
responsibility of the government is to pay the private investor for the
specified services.
Equity or hybrid model is the third model in which investment in infrastructure
is shared
between the two sectors while operation and management is vested with the
private sector.
The final proposal is reverse
outsourcing model in which the government
invests in infrastructure and the private sector takes the responsibility of
operation and management.
Sources stated that four models of
public-private partnership have been proposed so as to maintain flexibility in
the investment pattern. Means : Make moneys
HOWEVER
The government has proposed setting
up of large
education hubs in different parts of the country anchored by large public and
or private
sector enterprises funded through their allocations for corporate social
responsibility. Big moneys for Himanta
The government has proposed to increase the Gross Enrolment Ratio from its
current
12.4 per cent to 30 per cent by 2020. “Alas I have Degrees
-but no education “
For enhancing the GER to this level,
about 1,000 more universities and 45,000
more colleges are needed. “”EDUCATED “”
will gravitate to city- and die. Some EDUCATION!!
