New Delhi: Left and other parties on Monday opposed the introduction of Bills including one that will allow foreign universities in India. Describing foreign universities as “teaching shops,” Basudev Acharia of CPM said, “Allowing foreign direct investment and foreign teaching staff into the country will distort the already elitist educational structure in the country. It will make education more commercial and there will be no regulation and control over such institutions.”

The CPM leader charged the UPA government with an attempt to “centralise all powers within the educational sphere to the detriment of the states”. “It will jeopardise the federal structure of the country. The higher education in this country is going to be further entrapped in the wave of money-minting,” he added.
