It is an open secret but no one wants to speak up. The strangle hold Private tutorials/colleges have on students and parents across the country. That these institutions exist only for profit and not for preparing students of tomorrow is well known. Government's have abdicated the responsibility in this critical area of national development.
The monopoly these institutions have is most visible in AP. The most visible monopoly is the collaboration between Chaitanya college and Naryana college. Basically their promise is to get your ward ( boy/girl) to clear an entrance examination which will lead to a seat in an engineering or medical college. An industrialized approach which takes a raw material ( boy/girl) and hammer out an output in terms of results. What is the promise - education or advertisement ?
Their incomes runs in hundreds of crores and their infrastructure at best mediocre. It is one monopoly competition commission of India has to look at. The question that goes a begging is do they pay all taxes and whose palms are they greasing to ensure they survive and have a vice like hold on the higher education system in the state.
The most deplorable is their shouting on the roof top TV advertisements post the entrance examination results where these colleges boast their achievements and display gullible students and parents as their votaries.
Government's have conveniently closed their eyes and let public colleges die their own death. Will the new states get their act right ? Will each and every student get an equal platform to learn and compete ? How to get out of the your are with me or you loose psyche ? Not sure since one of them is a minister.
