SC criticizes Education Regulators

Updated on: Thursday, June 18, 2009

New Delhi: The Supreme Court criticized education regulators for the casual manner of giving recognition to private professional colleges which they described as 'masked phantoms'.

The court charged the regulators with disregarding the criteria laid down for the recognition, saying that it was hurting the higher education system. It also asked the policy makers to take note of the runaway commercialisation of education. 'The protagonists of privatisation of education should realise what is happening in the country,' the court said.

The regulators of the University Grants Commission, Medical Council of India, All India Council of Technical Education and Dental Council of India are all under the scanner, amid signs that the government may be veering towards scrapping them to bring in a fresh regulator patterned after Sebi.
