Srinagar: Opposition National Conference on Tuesday told the Lower House that the private schools and coaching centres have become vampires and suck blood of parents under the garb of imparting education to children.
Speaking on the grants for education department, MLA Budgam Aga Ruhullah said the government should put a check on increasing monopoly of private schools who are fleecing parents by overcharging fee under different heads.
“They have become vampires and suck blood of parents,” he told the House.
He said the private education sector had come with a mission of providing education but has commercialised the institutions.
He said the menace of private coaching centres was witnessing mushrooming growth in the state which needed to be controlled by the government.
“The basic concept of coaching has died. The enrollment in coaching centres is more than the classroom in schools,” NC MLA said, adding that the owners of coaching centres are only minting money from students rather than providing education, “which was the basic concept of coaching.”
