Important point is that he has initiated a dialogue and thinking process. It will create mass awareness which will distill something useful.

In the context of education, do read Anna, Arvind Kejriwal’s book, Swaraj, although interesting, is NOT the solution to India’s problems!

There’s nothing new in this idea. Since many decades US policy makers have been exploring this ideas. On pilot basis, voucher projects have been carried out but there has not been any positive results (improvement in quality of teaching/learning process) to support this hypothesis. the problem in India is that we launch such grand schemes without much study.
Some questions to consider:
1) What about uniform citizenship values across India?
2) Private players focus on profits. what about developing cadre of quality teachers? (I assume you must be aware of teacher exploitation in low-cost private schools).
3) Can government control fees?
4) how will you ensure large players? Suppose reliance buys out all schools in a city. Wouldn’t it be a monopoly? And what leverage will government have to monitor what curriculum is taught?
Why not rather force our governments to develop policies that provide incentives to quality teaching & encourage professional development in teachers; and to establish accountability & transparency at every level?
You should study educational systems of Finland, Singapore, & South Korea. Their comparison with India is unfair, but we can definitely compare those countries with Indian states. Why can’t our states develop such education systems?
