Solution:  
THE STATE OF EDUCATION TODAY
By Karuna/Karan
Our ancestors have received their learning at gurukuls and ashrams. Pathshalas were regarded as the place of worship. But the scenario has completely changed now. Today, education has been totally commercialised. Whether its school or college, students have to rush to coaching classes and parents have to shell out a lot of money on them. They don't rely on classroom teaching. On the other hand, parents' expectations from their children have increased. They want them to secure highest marks so as to get the highest paid jobs. They want them to become doctors, administrative officers, engineers, etc. For this, they send their children to the most reputed schools; still they are not satisfied with their performance. They want their child to get some extra knowledge to excel in others fields. Thus, craze for the coaching classes has increased.
Another reason for joining the coaching classes is the inferiority complex which children face when they do not go for extra coaching. Although, these so called coaching classes are just like school classes because they too follow group teaching method is used but still parents as well as children think them to be far superior to classroom teaching. They should realise that these coaching classes are no better than a money-making business. The students must pay attention in class and must concentrate more on self-study in order to be successful.
