The Shift in Education

The shift in acquiring education from school education to education at coaching centers in Kashmir is new enthusiasm that has increased their number across the valley. It is true that additional help has come to the students in the form of coaching classes; imparting extra knowledge and experience to the students with proper guidance. However, relying completely upon the private supplementary kind of education is ambiguous. It helps students to an extent but extracts their roots from their schools which should have been a basic endeavor to preserve. The introduction of coaching classes in the region was a sure help for students but the growing culture of such courses is a serious threat to the quality of education. Most owners regard it as a business to expand and barely as a source of education. Creating more space for these centers and reducing the impact of schools as a primary source of education is an abyss. Getting as many centers as needed is a requirement to be met but getting more of them may damage the essence of education in the valley. The growing insecurity among parents in respect of increasing fee demand by the tutors available in these centers is an alarm for the bankruptcy of society as a whole. The administration should control the swarming population of coaching centers in the valley that do not provide quality education and sack the hard-earned money of parents. At the minimum, it must regulate the fee structures available in these institutions to keep them from misleading parents.
