| Registration of tuition centers in Srinagar from Dec 30 | | | ET Report
Srinagar, Dec 28 : The education department in Kashmir is likely to issue registration certificates to private coaching centers from Monday. The authorities had asked these centers to complete formalities within ten days on Dec 19 when the two year old stalemate between the authorities and the coaching centre owners over guidelines was brought to an end.
"Hopefully we would be getting the registration certificates from director education on Monday," said G N Var, Chairman Coaching Centers Association of Kashmir (CCA ). "This will streamline the working of coaching centers and bring them under accountability and also bring to an end two year old issue. The guidelines which were accepted by both include separate classes for boys and girls, timing, fess criteria and stress on attendance and a monthly parent-teacher meet. "We provided the details like roll of our students, details of our faculty, infrastructure at our coaching centers," said G N Var, Chairman Coaching Centers Association of Kashmir(CCA).
"The information about the facilities like heating arrangement and separate washing rooms for both genders have also been provided. "The CCA had directed its members to submit the necessary paperwork within the stipulated time. "All of our coaching centres worked overtime to comply with the new directive," said Var. "Although we have a little time to get our papers ready but most of our members managed to submit the files at the director of education by today." Earlier Deputy Commissioner Srinagar Farooq Shah had convened a meeting of owners of coaching centres, officials of education department and police department on December 19 to resolve the long pending issue of the regulation of coaching centres in Kashmir. After a long meeting, Shah directed the coaching centres to register themselves with the education department within ten days, failing which a strict action would be taken against the unrecognized ones. Furthermore Shah asked the office of director education to issue registration certificates for valid coaching centres.
The association said that if government finds any coaching centre violating the guidelines, they are free to close down the centre and bring its owner to the book. "The allegation of exorbitant fee and low quality education would now be taken care of," said Var. "After the registration students would be the biggest beneficiary as it would end the uncertainty over the working of our centres and also provide them a backup security in case any centre cheats on them." The association said that the new guidelines would directly benefit almost 50,000 students of the valley. |
