Introduction
The Educational landscape is rapidly changing owing to entry barriers, at both UG and PG level in all the premier institutes, in the form of competitive examinations. The gap between school curriculum, its assessment and requirement of cracking competitive examination is widening, coupled with infinite distractions brought about by digital tools. All this had led to reliance on coaching institutes for entrance exam preparation. The initial trend helped the students sail through but with rapid commercialisation, things are falling out and are affecting the primary education source – Schools. Parents are shying away from paying school Fee as students are more than willing to join Dummy School - a vicious trap. What appears to be a simple actually turns out to be a:
- Money drain: Parents face significant financial burdens due to the high costs involved in relocation, fee of coaching institutes, frequent travelling etc.
- Irregular Academics: Students have to move to other city for coaching, they face emotional and social challenges, apart from juggling between new found freedom and the strenuous and hectic schedules, often resulting in academic discontinuity.
- Brain plus Money drain for Schools: The best of students vouch for dummy schooling resulting in loss of result as well as revenue. The students who leave are the ones paying maximum Fee. As the senior teachers are to be paid higher salaries, with fewer students it becomes impossible to retain good faculties thereby diluting the whole academic environment.
- Loss of Trust in School Education: With negligible results to showcase, the schools face tough time in maintaining their age old credibility. No Credit for selection of students in competitive examinations goes to school, rather they face the heat if they try to negate the students from joining coaching
As a result, we have a fragmented education system where students are juggling between school and coaching centers, often leading to burnout and stress.
Sparsh Academy is helping schools retain their students by incorporating competitive exam preparation into the school’s academic framework. Here’s how:
- Teacher Training & Recruitment Schools no longer need to rely on external faculty. Sparsh Academy trains in-house teachers, equipping them with the skills to provide high-quality JEE/NEET coaching. If needed, we also assist in recruiting expert faculty, ensuring the best educators are on board.
