Urgent change in education is essential

#Urgent change in education is essential

​The central government's moves to control coaching centers and integrated schools, which have become a big mafia in the current education sector, are extremely welcome and the need of the hour. The multiple choice question system, which stifles the thinking and creativity of children, needs to be completely eliminated and examination methods that include descriptive questions, problems and derivations need to be implemented urgently. 

A national law needs to be brought as soon as possible, taking into account the reality that the method of studying and writing exams without understanding it,  is detrimental to even the basic writing skills of students. Banning topper advertisements featuring film and cricket stars and forcing coaching centers to disclose the qualifications of teachers and the actual success rate will put an end to fraud in this field.

​The country needs a transparent method of selecting the truly brilliant for professional courses by reforming the working methods of schools and through flawless examinations.  This new intervention by the Central Government gives great hope to lakhs of poor and bright children in rural areas who are missing out on opportunities due to their inability to invest lakhs in big coaching centres in metro cities.

We express our full support for these revolutionary moves by the Central Government aimed at protecting our future generation and the educational values ​​of the country from the exploitation of money-grubbing coaching mafias.
