Schools should complete syllabus
The minister for education has expressed his dissatisfaction in a discussion meeting recently about private coaching. My daughter is now studying in class IX in a prominent school of this locality. Last year when she was about to appear in her first ever introduced JSC exam, we noticed with utmost dismay that some of the chapters of her textbooks had not even been taught. Having apprehended her misery, I wrote a letter to the rector of the institution seeking her immediate and appropriate action. But all in vain, as she did little with regards to completion of the syllabus.
My daughter became scared; so were we. Then we had no alternative but to go to a coaching centre spending a handsome amount of money for special coaching. I don't understand why the schools don't complete the syllabus within their teaching schedule. They keep the students in dark, make the guardians scared and compel them to spend a hefty amount of their hard-earned money for their children's education in coaching centres while they are supposed to get it from the schools in the first place. Can the minister concerned take any initiative to induce institutions complete their task properly, please?
