Who Says Private Tuition is An Alternative to School Education

You must be aware of recent hue and cry raised on the issue of ӀPrivate Tuition in IndiaԀ. The concern is getting exaggerated as educationalists, media analysts and ministerial system of our national education department are showing different aspects of the home tutoring system.

What experts have to say?

In fact, during a recent interview session on a radio channel, India born Nobel laureate Mr.Amartya Sen commented that Inefficient School systems and disorganized teaching staffs have led rise to this private coaching system. It is not just about the extra care or special treatments from a private tutor which makes this industry vibrant; rather it is the disability and mismanagement of our conventional national education system  that have made the way for these private tutoring centers to expand and reign as  a Para-teaching supplements.

Analyze of your own

Too some extent we agree on this point as far as origin and reach of private tutoring system are concerned. But if you look the other side of the coin you would realize why this industry is performing better than traditional school-derived education structure?

What is the reason behind this huge success where popularity of private tutoring has just started gearing up?

Find the answers of these three questions:

1. Why other developed nations like UK, US, Australia where education system is so strong are still continuing their online search for good private tutors? In fact home tutors over there are on high demand and highly paid also.

 2. What is the reason for online tuition job being outsourced to third world countries like India?

3. Why there are so many specialized coaching and training centers evolving around the country? Is it just for the business purpose or there are other valid reasons too?

We should also analyze the strong and positive aspects of home tutoring service as a remedy to better learning resource and proper guidance. There are many complementary roles of private tutors all around Globe that canҀt be considered as mere replacement or alternative to regular teachers. In fact, their roles are dominant and convincing too.


What makes Home teaching System self-sufficient and unmatchable?

1. The growing need of one-to-one guidance and customized learning tips, which a school can never provide irrespective of having proficient teachers and teaching system.

2. A substantial number of the private tutors are of generation Y. They have modern technologies and tricks to use while giving tuition to students. Their smart tutoring approach coupled with use of latest information tools, online exposures makes tutoring experience better and comfortable.

3. Teaching is all about relating practical application to the theoretical study materials. Private tutors have time and energy to devote for the betterment of their students that a school teacher canҀt afford at all. Home tutors can do enough research on teaching methodologies and evolve out with multiple techniques to sort out studentҀs problems.

4. Students feel more comfortable expressing their concerns to their home tutor rather discussing it in school in front of many students. They feel shy interacting or disclosing silly problems to their teacher.

 
Hence it is evident that Private Tutoring system have originated most naturally, not just born out of influence or fueled by corrupted school systems. There are many feathers to add to this view point.

We can rightfully expect that even after the revival of education system and teaching structure in India, the essence of private tutoring is not going to be obsolete. One canҀt deny the contribution of private tutoring system towards our society.
