Privatisation of Indian education system


There have always been a classy debate about privatizing our Indian Education System where the people belonging to group of poverty line deny the Right To Education to their own children so that they can act as a mediator in earning “Bread For living” on the other hand privatizing the whole Education System would not only handicap the literacy rate among the children but will also retard them socially as well because the good behavior is learnt in school only. The Education System provided by Government comes with lot of services like Mid Day Meal Programme, School Health Programme etc.so thus helps the student from Government studying school to come to school regularly improves literacy rate and also helps in improving the health status too.
 But as every coin has two sides so is the dilemma -the students of Government school tend to be more negligent when it comes to Education as the family is not paying for it, so the conscience to study or quench to study and gain knowledge is practically less .Mostly these respective students come to school due to the services provided by the Government or just have a primary Education so that they can categorize them as 'Literates' but beyond that it is like 'Beating about the Bush'
 And thus the privatization comes into role in this -As Privatization has its own Benefits as well like -In Private Education as the people are paying huge amount so that the students studying in these respective sectors have an excellent standard in all the phase of personality which includes nourishing the talents of individuals, improvement in communication skills etc. In certain places, a code of ethics is maintained For eg- In some private schools its adamant to speak in English, so that the communication skill develop in early age. Privatization improves the Education System by concentrating on knowledge oriented subjects rather than on mere literacy rate, thus improving and increasing standard ,communication skill etc but the disadvantage is that the expenditure increases and at times its difficult for certain families to live up to financial demands of this sector!!!
 But in the end its always the individual choices when it comes to the schooling of student in Government or Private Sector but the only truth that follows this is -privatization can run parallel to Government Sector but can never intersect or replace it....
