Minister for Medical Education, Sharanprakash Patil has hinted that the State government was thinking to come up with a law for regulating private educational institutions on imparting quality education and transparent functioning.
He was addressing at the concluding day of Net’s Regale 2015, a package annual academic and cultural events, organised by Navodaya Education Trust (NET) on its campus here on Saturday evening.
“The government is determined to create an environment where students can get quality education both in government and private educational institutions for which it is planning to come up with a law shortly,” 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 interests of the people.
Private sector
Commending the State’s political leaders of the past for their decision to open up education sector for private players, Dr. Patil said that it was because of their foresight that Karnataka’s educational scenario had greatly changed for better, particularly in professional education.
The minister said that his government was committed to set up premier institutions such as medical colleges and super-specialty hospitals in backward regions rather than already developed big cities like Bengaluru.
