Declining government funding for education has forced many educational institutions to seek alternative sources of revenue to cover their expenses.

Focus on profits and marketability in for-profit educational institutions can sometimes lead to a prioritization of financial gain over educational outcomes.
Data analytics can be used to identify areas of profitability and to optimize resource allocation to maximize revenue.

The commercialization of education can lead to a more standardized and homogenized approach to education.
The ideology of education as a commodity is driven by the idea that education is a means to an end, rather than an end in itself.
