VP: Coaching centres against the idea of NEP

Addressing the fourth convocation of the Indian Institute of Information Technology in Kota, he said, “The coaching centres have turned out to be poaching centres. They have become black holes for talent in regimented silos. They are against the flow of NEP implementation and are menacing for our youth who are our future. We must address this malice that is worrisomely concerning. We cannot allow our education to be so smeared and tarnished.”

Coaching centres must use their infrastructure to transform into skill centres. I urge civil society and public representatives before me and outside to appreciate the urgency of this disease. They must converge to restore sanity in education. ‘We need coaching for skill,” he further stated.
