With increasing pressure on children to give their best performance in exams, the education scenario in India is moving towards intolerable competition. Many parents resort to enrolling their children in extra classes to give them more push. This, in turn, is making the mockery of a traditional and competent education system in Gurgaon and other metro cities. These private classes and tuition are actually not that far from taking over the lesson planning of schools in Gurgaon.

The need of the hour is to schedule a plan that will ensure both remedial classes/tuitions go parallel with the school curriculum. This imperative for numerous reasons of which some are –

It is safe to say that almost 95% of students in schools in Gurgaon and all over India attend one or more tuitions.

This situation is worse for senior section of schools from classes 8 th onwards specifically. Almost all are taking tuitions in 3 to 4 subjects.

This becomes a hassle for students and teachers. Students face the issue of a different manner of learning. To avoid this confusion they decide to pay attention in only one section – school or tuition. With tuition being picked in most cases, it becomes a problem for teachers to handle and manage the attention of these students.



Students Opting to Pay Attention in Tuitions

The common denominator among students in senior secondary schools in India is that almost all take tuitions. Whether they are rich or poor, bright or weak in subjects – all students take part in tuition. Bright ones want to maximize their chance of getting top marks, while weak ones wish to get any help they can sort. This option between tuitions and a school has turned into a vicious circle.

Students realize they have an option of clarifying the topic in tuition. Thus do not pay extra effort to listen in class. This can disrupt the whole lesson as inattentive students cause a ruckus.

Teachers, on the other hand, know that students are taking a tuition and also do not try to bring attention back to the present topic.

The teachers, moreover, assume everyone will gain more information tuition. This becomes detrimental for students who do not partake in tuition. But now they have to as their knowledge regarding the subject is not complete.

Generally, students complete their whole education (around 12 years0 from one school. However, they are gaining knowledge from two tangents – school and tuitions.

It is quite possible that teaching methods of both sides may be different. This, invariantly, makes students decide which tangent they want to listen to. In most cases it is the tuitions children decide to listen.

Moreover, gone are the days when tuition was only for weak students and uneducated parents. Now even the brighter children and completely educated family are opting for tuitions.

Another factor for tuitions is the limited time parents have for children. They might be spotting honors in maths and English, but their time constraint makes children join tuition in the same subject. Sometimes also due to the added pressure of parents being expert in the same subject children have to perform better than others.

Higher and Challenging Rates of Tutors

Families are already paying a hefty sum of fees for their children in private and public schools. In order to give their children a head start over competition most parents only look for the top play schools in Gurgaon. However, now they are ready to pay extra money to tutors as well who charge for the same knowledge that school is providing. The issue comes in form of disorganized management of these tutors. Thus, they are unable to verify what should be the cost of one session of tuition.

The high flying tutors who are able to make a name for them refer to price for each session as per their convenience.

These tutors enjoy the privilege of quoting the charges of classes as they wish. Moreover, they generally accommodate students in group classes only, that will only be 2 or 3 times a week.

In case you insist on private classes, you more likely to be charged even higher for one class of one hour.

Lastly, these rates change as per the locality and area of residence along with the subject of the tuition. Suppose you are taking tuition of Hindi for your child, you are more likely to pay less than what you would have for Maths tuition.

Another reason for the rising trend of tuitions is the busier schedule of parents. They are not able to give much time to focus on the studies of their children who might be struggling with some concepts. Thus, they opt for sending their children to tuition classes once the child is done with school in Gurgaon. Children, hence, become habitual of tuition classes, sometimes even before they reach teenage, and pay less attention in class.
