AGARTALA, May 13 (TIWN): One of the burning issues of the Education system in Tripura is the private tuition business leading mass sufferings everyday.

Even though private tuition were abandoned before many years by govt of Tripura and each private school has instructed schools teachers officially not to be involved in home-teaching to own school’s children but instructions are for namesake across the state.

Either Holy Cross or Assam Rifles each school including Sri Krishnan Mission, Don Bosco, Kendriya Vidyalayas and in other private schools the private tuition business are hitting the guardians badly.

The guardians indeed bearing triple expenses : 1) School fees, 2) School teachers frees in private tuition in batches, 3) Extra tutor for ‘quality education’.

At the level of Class-6, Class-7 the teachers take 700 rupees from each student. At upper classes the amount crosses thousand. 

In this condition guardians are helpless as there is no control of the govt on those private institutions.

School authorities indirectly motivate such practices are teachers in those schools are not paid according to any govt rules and regulations.

Sometimes teachers are paid only Rs. 2000 to Rs. 3000 at the nursery level led the teachers to involve in private tuition.

But ultimately the victims are none other than the guardians and the students. Moreover, it is also tough for a child to run after so many tutors after whole days school hours. 

Guardians have demanded Education Dept’s monitoring in this critical problem.

In Govt undertaken schools also such Education business especially from Class-9 to 12 continues with the subject teachers controlling over the marking a student as “Pass” or “Fail” in their own "skilled" subjects.
