Abstract

This paper examines the impact of privatisation and corporatisation of online education on the teacher-student divide. The study aims to assess how these trends have affected the relationship between teachers and students in educational institutions. The research methodology involved the use of a questionnaire that was distributed to students of ICR using Google Forms. The questionnaire sought to obtain information on the experiences and perceptions of the students concerning the teacher-student divide in privatised and corporatised educational institutions. The findings of the study reveal that privatisation and corporatisation have had a negative impact on the teacher-student divide. The study suggests that there is a need for educational policymakers and stakeholders to consider the implications of privatisation and corporatisation on the teacher-student divide and take appropriate measures to address the issue.

Keywords: Corporatisation, privatisation, online education, teacher-student divide
