!S EDUCATION PRICELESS???

"Eduaction is priceless"....something pretty often hummed as a deep and intellectual thought..i feel like laughing my guts out after hearing this!!! What makes me do this...muss be the question knocking out ur brains right now.Well for the reason let us then explore the present educational scenario of MP's technical institutes.Flocks of students pouring in to get admission for engineering courses and most remarkable feature being that 75% of this crowd hails from middle class backgrounds.Teachnical institutes are mushrooming up like anything....100's of institutes and thats where the problem springs from.There is this unending queue of private institutes offering technical education to everybody and anybody without really dissecting the capability or potentialities of students,you can score a zero in the entrance and even then can get admission into this so called and much coveted technical stream.This is something that has given a golden chance to these institutes to raise their ruthless demands for a fee structure that ridicules the very essence of education.Students fit or unfit just dig their places into this coveted stream merely to add those substractions in their efforts through such sort of institutes.Such students are the active propellers for bringing about the commercialisation of this thing called "EDUCATION".I myself being a technical student have seen numerous classmates of mine struggling to make both the ends meet.The fee is like a huge burden on their parents which willingly or unwillingly they have to manage to encash.Students are striving underneath massive loans
and time and again when they hear about this fee hike fuss they kinda lose their nerves.How would they manage another increment in this fees...besides these institutes also throw haughty demands of paying the entire monstrous sum in a single stroke..disgusting!!!!Students are goin on strikes to express their discernment to this fee hike issue but i dont think it would be of any good to any one as it has always been witnessed in our country so far.Thousands of students came against the OBC reservation issue to express their anger and discontent staking their lives in protest but whatever happened is right infront of us..i dont think i'm supposed to write that here;and so would be the case with us also.Whatever the authorities have decided would turn out to be the ultimate word..and our protests would not budge the deaf,dumb and blind system out there.And the system is also not wholly responsible for all this business goin on here...its us who are responsible for this shitty commercialisation of education.The students who take admissions in any and every private institute just to get rid of the perseverance they would have to face ahead are reponsible.The owners of these private educational firms exploit this instinct of today's student to make their business flourish exponentially.They are just doubling their profits in the name of education.Classes are being conducted in under construction buildings and the enterpreneurs are busy expanding their network of profits through these colleges;fake promises of a safe and secure future are committed to the students just to earn money.The undeserving students who belong to affluent families are getting through and deserving students are held back because of their financial insecurity.This is the face of education and this is why phrases like "education is priceless" just sound humorous to me.
