The Hindu report of 3 Jan, 05 makes it clear that Prof. Sadgopal's humorous futuristic commentary .
about the future of India's education, is f~st translating itself into a harsh reality. The agenda of the .
conference ofthe State Ministers of education, held at Bangalore on.January 10-11 , included items like .
ng fees, introduction of foreign universities. At the.
.
introduction of private universities bill, restructuri--conference HRD Minister Arjun Singh reiterated the commitment of 100°/o FDI in higher education and .
stated that GATS in education is inevitable. How~ver, we must know that neither GATS nor 100°/o .
FDI in higher education is inevitable; it is up to the national governments to decide whether to .
place education on the table ofWTO for negotiations. Out of the 143 member countries of WTO.
.
..... .
<?_nly 40 countries have placed education as a negotiating item. Indian govt could have chosen notto , .
place education as a tradable item. Butthe Indian govt. chose to surrendereducation before the corporate .
giants through WTO. The massive privatisation and unfolding corporatization of our entire education .
system is a direct outcome ofour govt,s shafneful and totally uncalled for surrenderbefore the WTO. .
.
Friends, what would have seemed absurd and ridiculous yesterday, has become a reality today with .
the Coke taking over Municipal Schools of Delhi. As we are waging a battle againstthe Nestle Outlet's .
takeover ofJNU'~dhaba spaces, we must realise that days may not be far offwhen corporate giants like .
Nestle will try to dictate our academics as well. When the Indian govt. had a choice of not handing over .
our education, it chose the corporate interest over the interest of its people. Today, when we have to .
make a decision about the Nestle Outlet we must decide whom do we side with -the interest ofthe .
common students and citizens orthe corporate ? .
