UNIVERSITY
[CODE NO. 4261]
Higher education system plays an important role for the country’s overall development which includes industrial, social, economic etc. Indian higher education system is third largest in the world. The role of Indian higher educational institutes such as colleges and universities in the present time is to provide quality based education in the field of education, research etc. to empower youth for self-sustainability.
However the Indian higher education system faces huge challenges in the sense that while on the one hand there is need to bring as many young people as possible into the higher Education’s fold; on the other hand it is required to significantly focus on building quality and global competitiveness. Quality of education has a wide ranging impact on employability and labour production. According to official data, India’s labour force, which was 472 million 2006, is expected to be around 653 million in 2031. In such a situation, unless the country has a nimble- footed dynamic higher education system, it faces the danger of losing its competitive advantage not just to china and Brazil but also smaller nation such as Philippines and Malaysia.
The picture emerging out of the above facts make it clear that the government cannot provide all the solution to the India’s higher education challenges for the simple reason that during the next five year that the country may need 1400 additional universities, 75,000 additional colleges and 22 lakh additional teachers. There is no denying the fact that progress has been made since India became republic and the onus was on the state to educate its citizens. India has certainly has come long Way from 28 universities and 578 colleges in 1950-1951 to over 500 universities and more than 25,000 colleges at present.
Over the past three decades, a rapidly growing Indian economy has led to a huge demand for an educated and skilled labour force. To meet the man power needs of a dynamic economy, not surprisingly, private enterprises have cropped up to complement and supplement public educational institutions. In fact over the past few decades, it has been the private sector that has really driven capacity in Indian higher education. Private presence in higher education got a fillip starting mid 1980s which witnessed reducing investment by the center and the states. In 2001, when unaided institutes made up 42.6 per cent of higher education institutes, 32.8 per cent of Indian students studied there. By 2006, for which the data is available, the share of private institutes went up to63.2 per cent and their student share went up to 51.5 per cent. These figures have been steadily rising since then. The paper explores need, challenges of privatization of higher education in India. The last two decades had witnessed unprecedented growth in institutes of higher education primarily due to private sector participation.
The private sector has contributed significantly in increasing the gross enrollment ratio (GER) from 10% in 2000 to 13.8% in 2010. The private sector is expected to provide useful contribution in achieving the target of 30% GER by 2020 set by government of India. Though the private institutes have grown in number they are not able to attract the high ranking students.
A Rapid glance over this phenomenon would reflect the fact that private education players are the norms rather than expectation and truly so. Handling of Higher Educational Institutions by private group is now an irreversible trend in India. Critics who argue that education is a social good and should remain exclusively with the state will find it hard to disagree that given the scale, scope and complexity of Indian Higher Education challenges, the government on its own cannot single handedly tackle all the issues affecting University system in the country. the fact that India has a fast rising youth population that look to education as a conduit to prosperity coupled with depleting education is spending by the government translates into great demand for private higher educational institutions.
Moreover, the Indian Higher education system faces the challenges of ensuring equity and quality. The private higher education sector in countries such as the United States, Japan and Malaysia has been instrumental in tracking these challenges. In India too, private sector could play a key role in dealing with this issues through innovative models supported by an enabling regulatory framework and environment.
Hitherto, the private sector has played an important role in the growth of the higher education sector, especially in professional disciplines such as Engineering and Management. High potential ⁷demand for higher education and insufficient government spend and capacity creation is expected to result in substantial infrastructure and investment deficit. In this backdrop, the role of the private sector has assumed increased significance with immense opportunity for private sector players.
We have identified various options for private education providers to inter and grow in vibrant higher education space. We have also outlined the key drivers, Trends and regulatory considerations associated with these options.
