Ahluwalia praises private sector role in education

Pune, Aug 2 (IANS) It was a feast of words and wisdom as economists, bureaucrats, educationists and lawyers got together to inaugurate the Symbiosis School of Economics here. Speaking on the occasion Friday, chief guest Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said liberalisation of the Indian industry came after prolonged efforts of industry representatives, and similarly education sector too needs some vocal stakeholders to bring about liberalisation. Responding to Symbiosis International University chancellor S.B. Majumdar’s remarks about the red-tape in the education sector, Ahluwalia said: “In 1991 (then finance minister) Manmohan Singh gave freedom to Lakshmi (goddess of wealth), I want to ask you when are you going to give freedom to Saraswati (goddess of knowledge).” At present, only 11 percent of Indians pursue higher education, which Ahluwalia said was not acceptable.

Education in India

Education in India India has been a major seat of learning for thousands of years. While some of the country's institutes (IITs, IISc, IIMs, AIIMS, ISI, BITS and ISB) are well known worldwide, it is also dealing with challenges in its primary education and strives to reach 100% literacy. Universal Compulsory Primary Education, with its challenges of keeping poor children in school and maintaining quality of education in rural areas, has been difficult to achieve (Kerala is the only Indian state to reach this goal so far). All levels of education in India, from primary to higher education, are overseen by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (Department of Higher Education (India) and Department of School Education and Literacy), and heavily subsidized by the Indian government, though there is a move to make higher education partially self-financing. The Indian Government is considering to allow 100% foreign direct investment in Higher Education. Source: Wikipedia.org
