 |
| The Government of India recently made a major announcement impacting coaching centers across the country. The regulatory measures titled ‘Guidelines for Regulation of Coaching Centers 2024’ allow students to enroll with coaching centers only upon completion of their secondary school examination. They also incorporated rules addressing study hours, fee structures, teacher qualifications, deceptive advertising and infrastructure.
These guidelines were issued in response to concerns around the welfare of students, unregulated growth of private coaching institutions, rising cases of student suicides and other malpractices. The critical question that demands attention is - how will these significant reforms impact the educational landscape in the county?
Gear up for an informative overview as we take a look at the latest guidelines issued by the Ministry of Education (MoE) and assess its impact on schools in today’s newsletter. |

| The Ministry’s latest guidelines outline the key criterias that coaching centers must meet in order to secure registration. Here is a brief overview: |
-
Qualification of Tutors: A minimum qualification of graduation is required to be eligible
-
Age Restrictions: Student under the age of 16 cannot be enrolled
-
Fee Structure: The tuition fee amount must be fair and reasonable with detailed receipts and clear information regarding facilities and refunds
-
Study Hours: Coaching class schedules should not overlap with regular school hours
-
Basic Infrastructure: Coaching centers should allocate at least one square meter per student in each class and also obtain fire and building safety certificates
|
| The Ministry's guidelines essentially aim for regulation in coaching centers to create safer learning spaces. This serves as a substantial opportunity for schools to enhance their offerings and elevate the academic experience for their students. Let’s take a look at three ways in which MoE’s new guidelines can optimize your school environment: |
-
Improves Attendance Rates Limiting coaching classes to non-school hours allows students to be more involved at school and attend classes regularly. Schools can leverage this opportunity to integrate activities that elevate the learning experience and boost engagement.
-
Fosters Academic Concentration Prohibiting coaching enrollment for students under 16 compels them to concentrate better during school hours. Implementing adaptive teaching methodologies can help schools cater to their students’ diverse academic needs, address learning gaps and maximize the educational experience.
-
Promotes the Enhancement of School Offerings As students become more engaged in school, institutions should elevate their offerings by cultivating a student-centric learning environment offering personalized academic support, integrating physical health initiatives and implementing mental health programs to foster an overall positive school culture.
