"Victim of tuition culture"

Recently, I have seen an exponential rise in the number of students taking after-school tuitions for various subjects! This is now more a fashion of the urban population, instead of being a medication for a need.

Nowadays, school has just become a registration portal for board examinations, whereas, tuition centres have taken up the role of schools and are quite successful in producing aim-centred and successful students. Here again, the pupil population is at the end of suffering as they are missing the deep social aspect of regular schooling. From teachers' perspective, teachers are not payed high enough to maintain a satisfactory lifestyle and hence they opt such sidelines to generate income. For this reason, they have to lower their standards at the school to ensure full class population at the tuition centre. In addition, students like I consider tuition centres as our saviour because at the end of the day, whatever we all say, we all aim to score incredible in professional and high school examinations. And to achieve this, parents pay heavy tuition fees for the betterment of their children, along with the regular school fee.

Why I call ourselves to be a victim of the tuition culture is because we are missing the awesome school-life which in turn is damaging our social development. The key to demotivate tuition culture is in the hands of government, parents and educationists. And here, I deliberately missed students because a boundary carved by our teachers, government and parents could only restrict us from accessing such options. Similarly, schools should respect the dignity the teaching profession and for the God's sake, they should pay them a good salary so that they could create again the environment of positive schooling in our society!
