Subject: Mushrooming coaching centers and increasing

dependence of students on them

Sir:

I write to your esteemed self to express my deep concern

over the mushrooming of coaching centres and the consequent increasing

dependence of students on them. I just wonder what has happened to the

young generation. They want everything readymade served to them! They perhaps

don’t know knowledge and skills cannot be bought readymade. One has to really

work very hard for their acquisition.

Malcolm X has rightly said, “Education is the passport to the future, for

tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”  And everyone seems to grab this passport by

hook or crook—by crook in most of the cases. In their competitiveness they are

distorting the means to the end. However, they forget education is a slow,

gradual process. It can never be had by artificial methods.

The craze of joining coaching centers is becoming quite

widespread. Seeing this craze among the youngsters, many new coaching centers

are opening up. The bitter reality is that most of these centers don’t have

competent teachers. The pace of the syllabus completion is quite fast. Some

students find it really difficult to cope up with this speed.

These coaching centers can familiarize the students with the

formats of exams; however, as far as knowledge acquisition is concerned, that

does not happen in the crowded rooms of such centers.

Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I appeal to the

parents and the concerned authorities and ministry to look into the problem

seriously. Our children are the future of our nation. We cannot allow the

future to be dark and unpromising. 

Strict rules and regulations concerning the standards for coaching

centers must be implemented. The parents and teachers must encourage the

students to gain knowledge and excellence through self-study. I hope you will

give space to my views in the columns of your reputed daily. Thanking you.

Yours truly,

Sarla Thakur
