Author : Dr. Shaikh Taufiq Khalil

Abstract :

This research abstract delves into the pivotal role of education in individual and societal development, particularly emphasizing the transformative nature of the educational process and its contribution to the continuity of traditional knowledge and contemporary insights. The focus shifts to higher education in the context of India, highlighting its significance in producing an educated workforce crucial for national growth. Despite its importance, the financial challenges facing higher education institutions in India, marked by escalating costs and diminishing resources, are acknowledged. The study explores the emergence of privatization in higher education, particularly through the introduction of self-financing courses, as a potential solution. A distinction is drawn between aided and unaided colleges, with a specific focus on the working conditions of teachers in self-financing courses-an essential aspect impacting the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape of higher education in India, shedding light on the dynamics of self-financing courses and their implications for educators.
