Coaching Institutions- A boon or a bane
There
has been a rapid rise in the number of tuition centres that are
mushrooming in every locality. Coaching institutions are brimming with
students seeking extra help in their academics. But rather than just
taking a bit of help from these sources, it has become a regular and
routine affair. Tuition centres can be compared to medical clinics; just
as we go to seek help of doctors when in need. The same way we take help
of tuitions at times when we need academic assistance. But is the
problem so deep that we have to pay regular visits to these centres or
for that matter, a clinic? Surely not. Tuitions are inculcating a habit
of cut-throat competition among students and are preparing them merely
for money and marks. This is a major obstacle in the growth of kids in
schools, the atmosphere of studies and alertness is reducing day by day.
The students are taking schools for granted, paying attention only in
tuitions. They keep running from one place to another for tuitions and
are not able to realize the value of time and time management. The
teacher also are more enthusiastic in their coaching classes rather than
in schools. All the efficient and teachers have set up their own centres
due to the conveniences attached to them. Tuitions shouldn't be
established institutions of society; instead, the quality of schooling
should be upgraded to discourage the growth of these centres.
The government must ensure better pay packages and conveniences for
school teachers, well equipped schools and a proportional
teacher-student ratio.
School
is second home for kids and it will continue to be so when the teacher
and students stay as a family and hence, the senior students can help
their friends in solving the doubts.
Due to the development of tuition centres knowledge is taken to be a
commercial investment that will pay in forms of highly paid jobs. School
is a temple of knowledge where students are instilled with the right
values and not just a guest for material needs, as in tuition centres.
Its time when we ask ourselves- “Tuitions, a boon as a bane?” and act to
get the desired result.
