Telangana Government Schools Offer Exam Coaching Despite Guidelines
Imagine schools teaching kids extra classes for big exams like IIT or medical school.
Some schools in Telangana are doing this, even though there are rules against it, just like some private schools do.
They want more students and better scores.
The schools are working with groups to offer this, starting in 8th grade.
Some teachers are not happy because they are already busy with other school programs.
Some parents think this is not good because kids are already busy.
The parents believe the government should stop all coaching classes.
Government schools in Telangana are offering coaching for competitive exams.
This practice includes coaching for IIT, EAPCET, and NEET, starting from class 8.
The initiative aims to attract more students, promoted under the 'Jayashankar Badi Bata' programme.
TGSWREIS is providing coaching, planning five-year induction courses.
Parents are concerned and believe the government should halt these coaching classes.
