Comparing the effectiveness- School Education v/s
Tuition classes
In India, there exists a system of ‘tuition classes’ parallel
to the formal system of school education to supplement academic support.
Reasons for the
burgeoning of tuition centers are:-
* Cut-throat competition born out of parental ambitions to see
children in fields as medicine, engineering, civil services, management and
accountancy.
* Slow-learners or academically-weak students or those without
motivation find no support in packed classrooms and teachers face the Damocles’
sword of “completing portions” hanging above their head.
* Brilliant students
need further enhancement at specialized levels.
* The lengthy curriculum, existing communication gap between
teachers and students, tuitions seen as a status symbol or even preference of
some subjects over others.
Nonetheless, it is not
permissible to negate the importance of School Education which lies in the fact
that the children of today will become adult citizens & productive members
of society tomorrow. School is the training ground for all virtues & guides
children to the right path.
The chief objective
of the authority is to stimulate interest and curiosity in the students. Moreover,
Education should prepare young people for life, work & citizenship.
But, it is also required to examine the effects of
overburdening the students with tedious pressure of school, tuitions and
peers. Along with this, even the school
management is stressed and facing problem of creating interest in students.
Resulting in children becoming disillusioned with school and
lose motivation as they have to also give attention in tuition classes. We also
have to consider the situation of parents who are overburdened by paying fee at
school & tuitions as well.
So,
amongst all the stakeholders for students- school management, tuitions &
parents. Who is at the winning edge?
