At one instant it too seemed to me that its an unfortunate thing that happened. But no, look at the other side, it has opened up the channels for the government to muster up enough money for the education. Owing to a large population which we have the government does not and cannot have the money required for the educating the massses while maintaing the quality. So, with this bill the goverenemnt has created a platform for mass eductaion while focussing on the niche area. Few of the many things which i foresee from this bill are
1. by involving the private sector in education the governement can raise the education growth exponentially through PPP public and private partnership which is till now limited to infrastructure. 2. By introducing clauses of reservation for the disadvantaged children the governemnt can maintain its societal equilibrium. 3. We all know that the education in private school in better than most of the government schools, so the quality will be maintained. 4. It will create a compitition between the governement schools and private schools and this in long run will create force to the schools imparting lower quality of education to either shape up or close the shop. It simple terms the participatory economics will set the ball rolling. While sharing its load for the basic mass education the governement can then concentrate on creating specialised technical universities and medical universities which are equally important for the growth. To modernize just 1500 engineering college to IIT level it costs 5 billion dollers to the govenment that means 25 thousand crore, and it is for just 1500 college, in tamilanadu alone there are 3500 engineering colleges. So, in i believe there is no need to panic, whats wrong if the governemnt is sharing its load, to make the governance more effective. Let me know what u all think.
