“Imperial Institute of Higher Education: your designated choice of education”

In Sri Lanka, with the growth of many private institutes that have affiliations with foreign universities, as a potential student or parent in some cases, we are often stuck with a plethora of choices to decide from. It is somewhat safe to say, that education has in fact become a commodity, and we, its consumers. However, this should not be the case; education providers should not ‘ commodify’ education and the quality of education should not be compromised at the expense of low pricing. Like with many services, the service of education has generated competition within the nation, with institutes vying to secure market penetration the best way they can.
