New Delhi: Muslim students organizations condemned the Foreign Educational Institution (Regulation of Entry and Operation) Bill, 2010 that was approved today by Union Cabinet, and demanded its immediate withdrawal, saying the move will increase the commercialization of education.
“The HRD Minister Kapil Sibal views that the bill if passed in parliament would be a revolution larger than the one in the telecom sector. This statement itself shows that the bill will be a green signal for tough competitions in the ‘education industry’ to earn large profits, said Shahnawaz Ali Raihan, National Secretary of Students Islamic Organization of India.
“The biggest problem faced by the Indian society is that higher education is reachable only for those who fall in the right hands of economic affordability and so a large section of Indian society has been marginalised. The bill if implemented will only help to intensify the current state of affairs. Commercialization of education had ruined many Indians and replaced talents by “capitation fee”. SIO is also apprehensive of the invasion of western culture, ethics and values along with the western universities,” Raihan said.
“Inviting foreign universities with red carpet will further increase the commercialization of education. Foreign universities are not coming to provide free educational service for the rural background and poor students. They are bringing the education as a commodity for sale. Everybody should be aware of it,” said Md Anisujjaman, General Secretary, Campus Front of India.
India has enough resources. The government should utilize and improve its own facilities. Foreign universities will only be the industry of manufacturing feudal and capitalist class in the Indian society. It will corrupt Indian education system, he further said.
