3 legislation to be proposed for higher education

The government will propose three legislation for improving higher education in the country. This would include allowing domestic and foreign players to set up educational institutes; and setting up of the National Accreditation Authority and the Educational Finance Corporation.

“We are looking at introducing legislation to encourage private participation in education as the states alone cannot provide resources,” Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal said on Tuesday on the sidelines of the Conscious Capitalism Summit organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in Mumbai.
