The services of those school teachers who ask students to take private tuitions
should immediately be terminated. Similarly, the students who take private tuitions
should be thrown out of the school. The school education systems cannot improve if
the students’ education is dependent on private shops.
6. Role of Parents
Most parents know that the school education is not up to the mark. But when they try
to raise their voice against it, they are dissuaded or threatened by school teachers.
The statutory school management committees, which are supposed to have some
parents of students as members, exist only on papers. As the voice of the parents
goes unheard, the government should create an effective channel through which
parents could register their complaints against teachers without any fear.
A proper investigation should be conducted to redress the parents’ grievances and
strict action should be taken against delinquent teachers.
