New Delhi, Jul 18 (TIWN): As the government begins to take steps to fix edtech platforms like BYJU's, several parents have shared their plight on social media and professional networking platforms as representatives from online education providers continue to force them to buy courses.

The Ministry of Consumer Affairs recently pulled up edtech firms during a meeting with them and self-regulatory organisation India Edtech Consortium (IEC) amid aggressive misselling of courses to parents.

"Hey BYJU'S and WhiteHat Jr... Trust me I am pushing my daughter to start learning coding, and do IIT JEE preparations with you guys, but she is just not willing to do so. Kids these days don't listen to their parents. She just wants to be an artist. So, please stop calling me to sell these plans/devices," Prashant Sharma, who is into business development and a consultant with a penchant for storytelling, posted on LinkedIn.
