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.

Absolutely Right sir!!
Very much true!!
we should stop the mushrooming of coaching insitutions..we,the students must gear up..
I don't quite agree. If the quality of coaching institutes is not good then it should have no takers. That will automatically free us of them if they are a nuisance. The fact that there are coaching institutes coming up every other day implies that there exists a demand for them. the need of the hour is for the consumer, here,the students to make an informed and correct choice of whether we need coaching and if what we are offered is of acceptble quality. I don't agree that coaching as a system is a bane even in the current scenario.
Perhaps the saddest part about the plethora of these coaching institutes which have sprung up in every nook and corner is that students are deprived of the essential two years of schooling that they would have had otherwise; which are absolutely vital in acquiring a proper set of social skills. One can do without a degree from the best college but not without proper social skills. It has almost become a fashion for students to attend some namesake school and rather go in for full time coaching either in Kota or here itself. In some cases parents make this decision for students.
In the absence of prior knowledge, students fail to realise that most of these coaching institues have shams; not teachers; who merly provide a couple of "shortcuts" to solve questions. The few good institues charge the earth and the sun which ultimately leaves no choice for the less priviledged but to join these institutes. The high demand and population means that these institutes will always be in business regardless of their quality. At the end of two years, not only do the victims of this scam lack the basic fundamentals of the sciences, but also miss out a wonderful aspect of schooling life.
Recent success in IIT-JEE people from the lowest strata of the socity have even crcked the examination some even from living in the remtest villages of Bihar & Jharkhnd Ithink its the eye opener that Money Can't give you the oppourtunity alone it could be the limiting factor but not just the only factor behind success. Ithink Its just become the social status kind of thing that people going to Kota To get the training if you have the talent within your self you can get success irrespective of the places you live in.
