Passage:

There has been considerable debate in Indian regarding the privatization of higher education. In

this debate, there is generally an implicit assumption that privatization is essentially the same as

corporatization. Private investment comes due to the potential of returns. In the higher education field,

privatization and corporatization are actually quite different. Privatization is regarding who controls the

educational institute and the role of government in the management and funding of the institute, while

corporatization is about making profits in India, there is no doubt that private not-for-profit universities

need to be encouraged to increase educational opportunities and the fact that there is no other alternative

as the government simply cannot create enough public universities to satisfy the demand. However,

guidelines for private not-for-profit universities should be made clear, simple and transparent to ensure

that they are truly not for profit and offer a level playing field to all those who might want to set up a

private university.

1. Privatization of higher education has yet to take proper shape in India.

2. Expansion of higher education opportunities in India is needed to meet the increasing demand.

3. Corporatization of higher education has benefitted the students in the developed countries.

4. Privatization of higher education will lead to commercialization of education in India.

5. India does not have any extant guidelines for setting up higher educational institutions by

private entities.
