Liberalization of India's Private Schools

The FICCI ARISE report, ‘Liberalization of India's Private Schools’ is an opportune commentary on the necessity of liberalizing the Indian private schooling sector. Through this report we aim to bring forth some pertinent facts about private sector contribution in improving access and quality in school education and suggest structural reforms that shall pave the way for realising the goals set in the NEP – that offers a number of well-reasoned and bold reformative steps in the right direction for disruptive change to meet the future learning needs. Collating research from various sources and looking at scenarios from India and across the world, the report establishes that rationalizing regulations, dropping the philanthropic mandate for private schools and funding students rather than schools is the only way that all Indian children can get a quality education suited to 21st century careers.
