2nd October is the day which is remembered by the whole world. It marks the birth anniversary of the “Father of our Nation” Gandhiji, known for his adherence to justice and non-violence. This day also known as “non- violence day.” He spread his message throughout the world that to exploit is not a crime but to be exploited is a brutal sin. His noble ideals and preaching based on peace, equality, justice and non-violence are known to all across the globe.
But in this modern era, it is not being practiced as strictly as it should be. Most prominently, the most pious of all fields that is education has not been barred from the clutches of modern exploiter. Many shops and outlets have been opened in the garb of coaching centers which is nothing but money minting business center. Surprisingly, coaching has become a part of the modern education system. They make high claims of cracking these examination with 100% success rate. Here the students preparing for various competitive examination are targeted and are given fake assurances of cracking the toughest of examination. In doing so huge amount of money is being extracted from them but the end result is barely less than 2% success ratio.
To put an end to this coaching scam students’ oxygen Movement took the initiative by raising their voices against it. They came out open and clear with three valid demands. 1) Coaching fee should be taken on monthly basis. 2) Details of the students to be published enrolled for various competitive examination. And 3) Publish details of student under poor/talented/minority category for free coaching. All these demands have been made so as to bring about transparency in education system and also to put a check on mental, financial and emotional exploitation of the students.
