Authors- Assistant Professor Dr Mohd. Danish, Mohd Tasleem

Abstract-Abstract: – The financial landscape of higher education is undergoing significant transformation, with privatization emerging as a pivotal force shaping its future. This paper explores the opportunities and challenges associated with privatization in the higher education sector. Privatization introduces potential benefits, including increased revenue generation, enhanced institutional autonomy, and the fostering of innovation through public-private partnerships. However, it also presents significant challenges, such as exacerbating socioeconomic inequalities, compromising affordability, and raising questions about quality assurance and accountability. By critically analyzing both the opportunities and challenges, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of privatization’s impact on the accessibility, quality, and sustainability of higher education. The findings underscore the need for balanced policies that leverage privatization’s benefits while safeguarding the sector’s public good mission.
