Commercialization of the education is definitely a modern term denoting education industry which, however, differs from country to country, generally boomed well. The process has helped, particularly, higher education institutions, colleges, universities to improve and develop on the basis of large revenue earned from fee collection and sale of educational materials.

usual, countries have succeeded that have better education system and other effective factors like political stability, security and friendly social environment to attract global students. For decades, North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand have been the education hub where annually hundreds of thousand of students from Asia and Africa migrate for educational purposes. The above countries also have students following courses other than their respective countries.

This process has improved largely after the globalization and increase of internet connection across the globe. There are hundred of educational institutions providing 'online courses' for those who are unable to attend classes for whatever reasons behind.

The industry has boomed to a large extent and has attracted both private and public sectors to make large investment. In some countries, it has percentage in their GDP.

So as a result, many other countries in Asia as well as in Africa have joined the arena to compete and attract international students. Countries, like India, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia are very clear examples whose educational institutions host tens of thousand of students.

Anyhow, Afghanistan does not have any share in this industry, but there are private educational institutions which have outpaced public ones during recent years. The number of educational centers has increased amazingly. It can be claimed with certainty that there is no street in Kabul without a logo of an educational center.

As far as it concerns to centers providing primary, secondary, foreign language, and computer programs, there is not much criticism from civil activists or officials, though there are famous courses whose owners are among top earners in the country.

But private institutions and universities have been criticized on the basis of "commercialization of education".

Even Mr. President Karzia recently voiced out his inconvenience with them and said that these institutions were established for business! His remarks clearly reflected the approach of Afghan government towards private universities and institutions established during his tenure of past ten years.
