UGC relaxes entry rules for Foreign Educational Institutions

            First UGC said that only the top 500 world universities can enter into India..
Within few months, UGC says anyone can enter and sell degrees in India !!? 
What's next relaxation?! 

      Who cares for education?! 

         Government is busy with other critical issues...May be only the "MONEY" part of the education seems to be important for the HRD and the Government.. Not clear...

         Education is one among the priority sector for any Government. But here we are not able to provide better quality education to all. No matter it takes time.. 

         But the situation has further worsened after the privatization of higher education. No effective measure has been taken to curb the money makers in the name of private universities and colleges.

      To add to that now comes the FDI in education allowing everyone to enter into the Indian soil with not much quality regulations. 

   By nature we tend to get attracted by the high rise buildings and colour ful brochures rather than looking at the quality of education.  Here these foreign universities are now going to join hands with our own private universities who very well know how to tweak the systems..

   Here goes the link for more information on the recent amendments to the bill..

UGC relaxes entry rules for Foreign Educational Institutions
University Grants Commission (UGC) has dropped the condition that Foreign Educational Institutions (FEI) has to be ranked in the top 500 institutions in the world to enter into an academic collaboration with an Indian institution.

Eswara Chandramouli Post- Private education in India

With the universities and colleges/affiliated colleges etc increasing left and right and then varirtes of subjects -it is time that the educationists pool their talents and find ways by which the imparting edu with values is more important than mere taking a degree in one subject or other.The attempt to bring Academic excelllence is the result of the quality of the teacher/teaching community and not because he is a son of the promoter of a private college/university or realted to him.eswaraa -pic that u see is me and my wife Vijaya under the the founder Harward at harward university when we jsut went inside to see the university(MIT and HArvard).(the universtiy even today is strict and the rules are clear on thes choice of professors etc with academic excellence.
