Minister of State for Medical Education Dr. Sharan Prakash Patil hinted that the State government was thinking of coming up with a law for regulating private educational institutions on quality education and transparent functioning.
He was addressing at the gathering at the concluding day of NET’s Regale ‘15, a package of annual academic and cultural events, organised by Navodaya Education Trust (NET) at its campus in Raichur on Saturday.
“The government is determined to create an environment where students can get quality education both in government and private educational institutions. In order to regulate the private institutions on quality education and transparent functioning, the government will come up with a law shortly and put a mechanism in place to monitor,” he said. Only those private institutions, he added, which are oriented to provide quality education, would survive in future.
He hoped that majority of the private players would welcome government’s, initiative keeping in mind larger interest of the people. Dr. Patil commended the State’s political leaders of the past for their decision to open up the education sector for private players. “Due to the efforts of our political leaders, Karnataka became a hub of higher education, particularly in medical and engineering streams,” he said.
