<h5>What rules have been announced by the government?</h5><p>Coaching facilities across India advertise that enrolling in their coaching classes guarantees admission to good engineering colleges, medical colleges, etc. Many students take admissions at a young age to ensure a better future. Now, the Ministry of Education has published certain rules that have to be followed by these coaching centres.</p><p>The coaching centres must employ teachers having a minimum of a graduate degree and no criminal records. They should not also enrol students below 16 years of age. Coaching centres are not permitted to create false advertisements regarding the quality of coaching, facilities, or results obtained by students who attended their classes.</p><p>The coaching centre must keep an up-to-date website with information about tutor qualifications, courses, duration, fees, etc. The fees must be reasonable, and there should be refund policies.</p><p>The coaching centres must also be registered and must provide proper safety measures in their institutes. The coaching centre should have CCTV cameras, a first-aid kit, and access to medical care. The class timings should not coincide with regular school hours to maintain consistent attendance.</p><p>Students and tutors must also get weekly offs. There should be no exams on the day after the weekly off. A complaint method must be established so that students, parents, teachers, etc., can complain against the coaching centres. Coaching centres can also submit complaints against students or parents.</p><p>Coaching centres will face punishments for breaking any of these rules announced by the Ministry of Education.</p><h5>What is the reason behind issuing such rules?</h5><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/important-new-rules-for-coaching-centers%2FCoaching.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=b07209e4-bd1b-4b85-8902-73cec16049d0"><figcaption>Students in a coaching centre.

It also comes at a time when the government has received various complaints regarding rising cases of student suicides, fire incidents, a lack of facilities in coaching centres, etc.</p><h5>What are the reactions to these rules?</h5><p>Many coaching centres say the new rules will increase academic pressure on students, cause job losses for many teachers, and cause monetary losses for the coaching centres. They say many students studying in the coaching centres for engineering and medical exams are aged below 16.</p><p>They say these exams are difficult, and students joining late will find it difficult to prepare. Because of these guidelines, there would be a decrease in admissions for students below the age of 16, which will affect the coaching centre business. The head of the All India Parents Association said these rules will help decrease pressure on kids.</p><p>Some students have said that it should be up to the kids to decide whether they can handle the extra pressure or not. So, do you think the new rules were necessary? Tell us in the comments.</p>
