Coaching centres
Naome Syed, Dhaka
The necessity to go to a coaching centre right after completion of the HSC or A-level has become an indispensable exercise nowadays. There are no rules and regulations which these so-called education assistants maintain so as to have a congenial environment. They are in fact centres for free mixing and misuse of teenage freedom. These coaching centres are operating with the sole intention of making money, exploiting the importance of being educated by corrupt means of commercialism. It is indeed extremely frustrating to see how they are growing like mushrooms in our country. Profit-making motive has gone to such heights that there may be more than one coaching centre in the same building. The disoriented manner in which these centres are running has a lot to do with the fact that the government has not yet taken appropriate steps to bring them to uniformity. They are overlooked and given respite as being small firms. But the monthly fee the owners take from the parents is very unreasonable compared to the poor quality of education that they provide. Most of the parents who are too confused to decide the right mentor for their children happen to fall in wrong hands. They pay a high price for the tutorial support that is often not quality. I would, therefore, request the government to seriously look into the matter with utmost urgency.
