Our constitution makes it the responsibility of the Government to provide free and compulsory education for all children between 6 to 14. Are private institutes going to provide free education to all?

Lets take the example of the Aviation industry which was privatized in 1994. Since then it has been dominated by private sector bodies but till date all these bodies have failed and duped the public and run in losses. Can we afford to let this happen to our education filed?

There is no doubt that everyone has a right to choose their education. But, the question is can we ensure there is quality to all if education is completely privatized.

India is a vast country with diversity and disparity running though its veins. When we talk about education in India, we must not forget that we are on the of the most populated countries in the world and are also the world's largest democracy. While the each and every citizen must be educated, they must also be given equal chances to be educated. Therefore privatization of education results in not giving an equal opportunity to all citizens. Private schools make education into a business and run contrary to our Constitution only.
