Bhopal: The High Court has issued a notice to the Central and State Governments and sought their response within four weeks on the PIL filed in the High Court seeking to bring coaching institutions within the ambit of the law.
The PIL was filed by a group of parents who alleged that coaching institutions were charging exorbitant fees and were not providing quality education. The parents also alleged that coaching institutions were not regulated by any law and that there was no mechanism to redress the grievances of students and parents.
The High Court, in its notice, has asked the Central and State Governments to respond if coaching institutions should be brought within the ambit of the law? If so, what should be the regulatory framework for coaching institutions? What steps should be taken to ensure that coaching institutions provide quality education at a reasonable fee? What mechanism should be put in place to redress the grievances of students and parents?
The PIL filed in the High Court is a significant development. It highlights the growing concern among parents about the lack of regulation of coaching institutions. Coaching institutions have become an important part of the education system in India, but they are not regulated by any law. This has led to a number of problems, such as exorbitant fees, poor quality education, and lack of accountability.
The High Court’s notice to the Central and State Governments is a welcome step. It shows that the judiciary is aware of the problems faced by students and parents, and is willing to take steps to address them.
