Knowledge Commission against inviting foreign universities
The move to invite foreign universities to offer education in India today came under attack from Vice Chairman of National Knowledge Commission P M Bhargava who said it would lead to commercialisation of higher education.
This move is to commoditise education. Education is not at all a commodity, Bhargava said at the seminar on Education Commission: Revisiting the Commissions Premises, Vision and Impact on Policy Formulation, organised by National University National University of Education Planning and Administration here.
I strongly oppose the move of Commerce Ministry to invite the foreign universities into the country, he said.
