How broken does our governance have to be - and how incredibly touching our hypocrisy - that you can’t make profits from giving young Indians education, but can earn thousands of crores giving the same graduates the same tuition? This coaching-tuition-profiteering model built on the back of a broken education system is a scandal and an abomination, and must go.

It's incredible how they sell something that has 99.99% failure rate 😢
Yes better they teach marketing !!
cause it is the greatest achievement in the country
@@anuragbanerjee2879Yeah, digital marketing is also a career now, like call centres were in the last decade. ChatGPT is increasingly used to create marketing content.
@@TheKakarot_itachi it is sold like that
@@parvadhami980 nothing is sold like that. It is as it is. You get to run the country by clearing UPSC.
1:42 Ironically they should have arrested the water, by constructing robust drainage infrastructure. Unfortunately, no one is talking about why it is ok for our roads to get flooded with water when it rains as if we have accepted this as our fate.
Total build up area in 1970s is 25% -- Today it is more than 85% -- There is no place where water can go -- Basement originally belong to waterbodies only hence Water is entering to its own place ..
It is a shame for India that so many highly educated slog away their youth for an exam with 0.01 % success rate. This is because they don't see the private sector, entrepreneurship or others avenues as ladder of success or social mobility. Generations getting wasted . What a shame.....!!!
Education in India = well paid job get family out of poverty become rich/to hell with the rest of society. Am Indian born/educated but chose the UK. Education has never improved the Indian mindset set in dark ages. Challenging authority traditions is forbidden. Parents in absolute control from cradle to grave. Children are commodities to be bought/sold. Arranged marriage living with in-laws having kids to please parents harassing sons wives.
And the best thing India dosen't get FDI because of bureaucracy. I went to a gevernment school to teach on Arduino and robotics to class 9 and 11 student. First principle thought I am here to make donation also. Later some government official came by VDO level, he was asking what education I am giving to student what is its use. In the last I just wanted to run away from the school. This officer was questioning me a like a Inspector questions a thief. I had to show him my microcontroller and loptop, He took them some other place. And I was made to sit in principle office. He return my laptop and other stuff but the moment they said I can go I just run away from that school. Never I will do it again.
Real talent during one's peak time is wasted and lost while preparing for upsc exams.
Because any socialist babu or political party will come and close down your business or your factory
Cause IAS>>> any job. Do you want to be a clerk in pvt sector or CM/PM?
Governments plays a blind eye to the coaching factory model because it helps them escape from the basic responsibility of providing quality education while earning top dollars in terms of taxes. It's a win - win for both Government and the Coaching mafia.
Solution?
It's the fault of the students who are not seeking employment, but wasting away their youth in coaching centres
@doctorpanigrahi9975blaming teenagers and young people and not the people exploiting them is honestly quite absurd. It's a way to absolve all the people elected to fix things by blaming the populace, it's basically a defence of status quo.
Very apt insights. I always wondered while in ORN myself a few years back, why everyone adds a suffix "IAS" to their coaching. The exam is for 23 Group A and group B posts, all equally respectable. The conclusion I reached was that most people know this exam as IAS exam and hence the coaching industry played on the psyche of these people.
If I could tell an open secret from the industry, it would be that every "Sir" secretly detests this job as they are fully aware of what they are doing. But the money is far too good to let go.
Another interesting fact, Rau's IAS brands itself as one of the pioneers of civil services coaching (proudly writes "since 1953"). It hosted former RBI governor D. Subbarao 15 days prior to the disaster in the same building where the deaths happened. Not one media house reached out to the Hon. Governor for his views on the matter.
Thanks for raising the issue Shekhar "Sir".
Solution to diya nahi inn SIR ne? Keval raise karne se hota kya h
So glad Shekhar Gupta is bringing notice on this monstrous culture, in the long term, what benefits society is healthy competition, not burnt citizens, Warren buffet, bill gates didn't come out of coaching centers
I passed out of MEA Hr Sec School ( now DTEA) Mandir Marg in 1965. Was an average mid - class student but good in sports. No tuition for education. Was selected for. National Defence Academy on merit. No coaching. My father paid Rs 9 per month for school fees! My parents spent Rs 30 per month as my pocket money while at NDA which was increased to Rs40/- per month in Indian Military Academy 😊
Our school teachers were our Gurus who took extra classes in school for all of us before exams. They wanted us to excel and we did not want to let them down.
If I say , in good old days” I am frowned upon today . Nearly 60 years ago we got real education with dedicated teachers. Today education has become a big business . Sad
I am in mid 20's and I can say situation was not bad during my education as well. I am from kendriya vidyalaya, very dedicated teachers
They say F&O trading is gambling -- Compared to UPSC / ITT JEE NEET coaching spend , where the success rate is 0.01 % , F&O trading success rate is at least 10 % . 15 lakhs people appear for JEE for around 3000 seats across India. Coaching institute fee + living cost put together total spend runs close to RS 50 lakhs or more .. Those people who " Invested " in these would like to " Recover " through unscrupulous way .. That is why now a days IAS / IPS become corrupt from day 1 . as they want to recover as speed as possible ASAP . Once very famous Indian Foreign Service IFS , there is no takers as nobody wants to become Ambassador of Somalia or Republic of Congo .. Indian Revenue Service IRS where corruption opportunity is huge is in demand now ..
Best ever episode of theprint! Great courage @Shekarji for speaking the truth, despite knowing you may lose the juicy advertisements and funding from edutech giants. Brave Journalism!

This is a good one
My portfolio’s been all over the place since the attempt on the presidential candidate. Combine that with China’s economic crisis, and it feels like everything is falling apart.
Yeah, it’s insane. Between that and the China economy crisis, I don’t know how anyone feels safe about their investments.
No kidding. The market is so volatile right now. I'm getting really anxious about my funds.
I felt the same way, which is why I chose to protect my investments with the help of an expert. Desiree Ruth Hoffman has made a significant difference for me.
Oh, I’ve heard that name a few times now. The most recent was in an interview I watched. Guess I’ll be clearing my schedule to search the internet for her contact.
That's exactly how I reached out too! I’ve been seeing her name pop up everywhere, and it turns out she’s incredible at navigating these turbulent times.
100% agree with you sir. After spending 3 lakhs to earn an engineering degree from MU. I was crushed in job market because I did not have employability, or a CDAC certificate which take 1 more lakh repps. My parents and us lived hand to mouth then and 1 lakh seemed a lot of money. In hindsight I blame the culture which normalised spending on external coaching while still paying for sub par regular college education. It needs to go.
This is why people love you, SG ! Excellent piece
Wow, what a wonderful analysis. I have long been thinking on the same lines since, I learnt about the Chinese crackdown on such Coaching conglomerates. Fantastic explanation and information worth taking home. Unfortunately nothing more will happen in our system except discussion and thereafter we'll forget the tragedy. This is the irony of our nation and its people.
Thank you for watching and writing in, my friend. I'm glad you liked this episode...best wishes, Shekhar
All these days we have been made to believe that we are the competitors to China but looking at all these and the way country is heading, it seems we are heading exactly opposite to China's progress and growth. Narayanamurthy of Infosys is right in saying that we do not have the discipline and patriotism like Chinese and we do not work hard like them. We just argue on every matter and never mind about our Country's growth and progress!!! We do not deserve progress. We will always be behind advanced countries.
Ye sab faltu baato me uljha diya tumko....china me court sahi se kaam karte hai aur decision jaldi aate hai...aur judge bhi bahut hai...politicians control me hai citizens ke...bus yahi 2 3 baat aage le jaati h desh ko...lekin tum jaise samajhdar log bhi media k baato me aakr rah jaate ho
@@yashpalchaudhary9752Lol china is fake as country and no democracy and realty.
@@yashpalchaudhary9752 politicians control main hai citizens k? Bro it's literally the opposite in china. The CcCP controls the citizens. It's decisions are final and binding to all. They have a hybrid dictatorship in place where xi xinping is the supreme leader for God knows how many years (no democracy). Han ye alag baat hai k Chinese log kattar nationalistic hain. Uske liye unka brainwashing bhi Kia jata hai. They don't have access to free and open internet. They have a nationwide firewall which prevents their citizens from accessing multiple independent sources of news.
China produced 65 million jobs between 2010 and 2015. That’s approximately 13 million jobs per annum. Huge difference.
Thank You for such a detailed coverage. Hope we as Indians understand the hypocrisy of these so-called Tuition or Coaching classes. I certainly feel the youth is wasting it's time on these exams and not opting to contribute wherever they get an opportunity.
Everything from Wayanad to Delhi to Mumbai are merely the signs of coming days. I think the real culprits are "We the people of India". We are ready to pay "top dollar" for coaching and private tuitions, but the moment school tuition fees are raised, we create a ruckus. There are limits to Govt spending. Most state universities are in abysmal state and in dire need of infra upgrade. The teaching recruitment process at state level is among India's worst kept secrets. There is an urgent need to course correct but I am afraid we are still yet to wake up.
Perhaps the government can spend some of the taxes it already collects from me on education instead of distributing it to its cronies.
Education should be free till high school leval
At least use the GST to make good schools
Buy for RO water machine billions of dollars,Hema Malini advertisers
@@bilalbaig8586No tax money is being given to any cronies. Get out of this misconception. People are still confusing write-off and waivers. The so-called cronies just happen to be creating new money.
A lot of money is inefficiently used in fertilizer subsidy, excessive rice/wheat procurement from Punjab and Haryana. Rationalising fertilizer subsidies by replacing with DBT; encouraging nano-urea and NPK, and crop diversification would save a lot of money.
Plain and simple. Not cluttered. Liked it. I don't nowadays watch 'cut the clutter'. You make it too convulated and full of anecdotes. Please keep simple.
It is a broken system. Private tuitions are minting money and many star owners are happily owning Limousines. The colleges they are supposedly affiliated to exist only on paper. Students are told that the coaching classes will arrange for their admission to complete formalities and they need not attend colleges. This parallel education system is created at the cost of students and their parents. Needless to add that the cost is prohibitive but surprisingly no one is complaining. The flourishing business helps govt to earn GST in thousands of crores. No wonder they are turning a blind eye. Everything will be back to 'normal' and this tragedy will be soon forgotten.
Hindsight is 20-20 .... we need such stories before the disaster.
Our journalists need to unearth such duplicity and corruption early enough to stop them profiteering and provide warning regarding such dangers.
Post-mortem is easy - preventive action is tougher but more effective
BROKEN WINDOW ECONOMICS. Wow! Learnt something new. Thanks SG!
It sector jobs becoming second type of govt jobs.
But the problem is that yaha 50-60% janta bahar ho rahi hai 40 ke bad .
Nothing wrong with basement offices - in other countries people live in such sunken houses safely because they have efficient drainage. They should arrest the municipality and the legislators who infest such dens of corruption . That begs the question- what is the education qualifications of Xi and our PM and his cohorts .
Stupid, intelligence nothing to do with education. In india most of the educated are super idiots. So stop this argument once for all.
INDI thugs better ask their masters AAP who is ruling Delhi municipality and Congi what deal Rahul signed with Xi jinping.
This begs the question : what is the qualification of xi's voters (?) and voters of our Prime minister 😂
@@sengarsurendrasingh1397 1975 to 1979, Xi studied chemical engineering at Tsinghua University as a worker-peasant-soldier student in Beijing. The engineering majors there spent about 15 percent of their time studying Marxism-Leninism and 5 percent of their time doing farm work and "learning from the People's Liberation Army.

No one talks about coaching industry's' dark sides and its ill effects on students. Thank you Shekhar sir and The Print. I believe that this is a revolutionary step to educate the people about the truth of coachings and how it is one among many things responsible for deteriorating the standard of education in our country.
Incredible explanation. You have brought the phenomenon into light in a way different from all others.
This is a true editorial piece which you can be proud of
BYJUUS: What do you say? Hold my offshore assets
Very well presented the problem of education system! It worries me a lot! All these politicians ignoring the essential problems facing the nation…..talks nonsense in the parliament showing photos and all! What a joke of parliament!
Like I heard in another podcast the basic problems of corruption in the day today life is completely ignored! One of our Hindu priest in our temple is narrating the demand of an officer for heft money to change his mothers name which was entered in aadhar or Pan cards! Who will look into these problems ? Why are we so corrupt? 😢
While talking about the “non-profit” nature of education, I’ll highlight Hyderabad’s schools where the fees for nursery in its most expensive school is above 6 lakh p.a. and the fees is known to go up by 10% each year. The more established schools have limited seats to go with the more reasonable fee structure and the “corporatised” schools have no check in terms of fees.
Very valuable inside take, point of view, thank you !
In Indian states like Kerala, teachers jobs can be purchased like grocery. Govt will pay the salary. I am not sure if the same can happen in China.
Food for thought..
Excellently put across.
Thank you SG. You are right. It must go.
This "sarkaari naukri = Ijjat, Dahej, Paisa" needs to change. Private sector is offering much better opportunities nowadays.
Let them compete and waste their lives searching government jobs. At least we have few less competitors for private jobs! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not really....there is also looting aspect
Not really, political power is way more important than money which a corporate job will provide
@@HamzaAgha-ku8zrwhat you left unsaid is that money automatically follows political power under the table ...
Private sector will not pay for Excessive egocentrism, Well networked Corruption, Excessive anti-Human resource policy execution and Work only for mood enhancement😂😂😂
The underground, when it happens here will not be “tiny”. This is a social problem
everything is broken down under Vishwafraud's rule..not just broken education system..even railways and economy
Loved this episode shekharji
Dp you think pvt healthcare is also a manifestation of broken window economics.
One of the main reasons, that is not covered in main stream media about the recent Chinese crackdown on tuition, coaching and online gaming is the eye sight issues China country as a whole is facing, amongst young children.
Well said.. Agree 100 %
One of the best episodes from SG👍
Incompetent governance ,Absolute joke. This guideline and law must be made All India...Coaching institution are buying aspiration Dignity by showing 10 lakhs.. In India I think 8% on Education shame.. UPSC must ban these fake advertisement / coaching felicitation ( not topper talk explaining process) of toppers which is actually failing of an civil servant , Candidates after selection must be Accountable for their actions
Real issue! Well presented. Thank you for this awakening us.
It's the infrastructure problem, not the coaching business problem that needs to be addressed right now
The problem with us is that we want instant results rather than building permanent solutions which take time but last forever - we need to improve things from school level upto college rather than jumping to the final step of job or college.
Wonderful piece, shekharji. Best solution
Government institutions aren't efficient that's why private education increasing. Government needs to develop and reform education completely. They should ban competitive tution institute.
Banning coaching is not practical. But one easy amendment for UPSC to do is to decrease the number of attempts allowed to 2 or 3. This will help candidates to be productive rather than wasting their prime working years attending coaching.
Thanks for this report!
Unemployment is this government's legacy which benefited coaching industry heavily.
You are spot on SG.
Coaching institutes, including those for NEET, should be done away with. More ridiculous is some students give repeated attempts for 4 or even 6 attempts. This is unfair to a 17 year old fresh HSC student from schools when a 21 or 22 year old student, ie the normal passing out age for a professional undergraduate student, competes with a fresh 12th student, that even studying only 3 subjects in Coaching institutes. There seems to be a big scam in the whole process of mushrooming of Coaching institutes. If Coaching institutes are the deciding factors for clearing NEET, then there is no need for schools. Even during the recent NEET question paper leak, SC asked only about the list of candidates from exam centers and not the list of candidates from various institutes in the suspected localities, where question paper leak happened. If this survey is done, then the rotten system will be exposed and their nexus with various segments.
CRUELTY upon poor class middle-class senior citizens and pensioners. AND TAX TERRORISM
Nirmala Sita Raman/Modi do not spend Rs 1 on education or hospital infrastructure in India. The middle class is already screwed up with taxes and additional GST on Coaching center fees, education loans, and no world-class universities in India, So travel abroad and struggle there. Every paisa this govt. earns is from the poor class and middle class,. Senior citizens and pensioners in the middle class also pay GST on insurance premiums, medical walking chairs, dialysis medicine, and everything. RICH IS HAPPY BUT THEY HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE TO MAKE PRIVATE INVESTMENTS IN INDIA
I read this article in Business Standard today, and guys believe me when I say this;
Mr Shekhar writes even better than he orates!
Can you please share the link?

Spot on!!!
IMO the main reason for the broken education system is the "Entrance Exam" model of our universities and higher educational institutions. When everything about your/your kids future depends on cracking one MCQ exam obviously people are going to invest everything into it...whereas this is not the case in many countries, there your exam score is just one criteria, besides you have to write essays, give interviews, even your school performance of the whole year is used through GPA and they also consider your achievements in extracurricular activities.
coaching is not education.
sadly nowadays most have became dependent on coaching because of unfair competition, non-accessibility of good school/college, regional difference etc, these have become beyond saving
AMIT SHAH'S POLICE HAS ARRESTED THE SUV DRIVER WHO JUST DROVE ON THE ROAD!! IT'S INSANELY STUPID!!
Are they still searching to find the last petrol wallah who sold him some fuel for his SUV?
Hmmm and what kejriwals people did to solve the issue 😅 please elaborate...
It was prohibited to drive there post flooding and was marked as no drive zone that bugger still choose to drive across
arrey vahi to culprit hai bhai
The real fault of the tragedy lies with the local govt, who couldn't even make a functional drainage system.
Excellent. Keep up the good work
Thank you, my friend, for appreciating and supporting our journalism. Do keep watching and writing in...best wishes, Shekhar
A joy to listen to such coherence and clarity
Sekhar- you have touched upon a very important subject. We need to provide quality education mostly funded by the State to empower those who can't afford lakhs on these blessed coaching centers.I would welcome bigger exposes on a business that is killing the middle class.
Very nicely articulated by Sekhar Gupta. IIT coaching from the kinder garten is another big scam. Unfortunately bold decision making is so alien to Indian govts.
Bold decision making is rare.. .What about demonitization and lockdown during covid
SG hit the nail on its head with the 'SIR' culture. It is ridiculous how we Indians have abused the word Sir. Watching the videos of mock interviews for UPSC makes it clear that Ji Juzoori or psychophancy is all the UPSC is about. Someone who spends half his time adding a Sir before and after every sentence he utters cannot be expected to hold his fellow officers and superiors accountable.
should the discussion be about coaching classes or dysfunctional municipal corporations all over the country and non existent city planning? Though these academies might be mere profiteers, we are missing root of the problem.
Bang on bro!!!,these media prestitudes do the same as coaching walas, cater to the market demand, blaming mcd govt etc. is boring life for them now, so they have started targetting specifically coaching ppl only, its mentos life!!! for these media valas nowadays.
Media hates coaching institute for it breaks it's monopoly on narratives on impressionable minds
Students preparing for civil services are not eligible for that position. Who ever got that post who took catching from that coaching centre are to be dismissed
How True. Look closer and you find shades of Grey. Well explained by SG.
Excellent content! Shekhar Gupta is a gem!
Thanks!
Dear Sanjay,
Thank you for your generous contribution.
Very powerful article...!!! I normally don't comment. But this one opens a different perception...
Deserves a praise.!!!👏👏

:D good that majority don't think this way. Else we would be a woke-istan
Too emotional 😅

One of the best episodes. There’s facts, rhetoric and the larger point that we’ve put these ppl on such a big pedestal. I am myself from such a system revere my coaching teachers but not school teachers. A real shame!
GREAT !!!!
It starts with the appointment of Vice Chancellor. Mostly on party and caste basis. Notice how some state governments fight over this right. I had asked what is the deal? Informed sources tell me that there is plenty of money to be made of UGC grants.
I have been watching your video for a little while, they are good, you try to give a holistic picture, collection and presentation of facts, problems are done without any bias also making parallels and deducing solutions, your analysis has everything in it.❤
Love you Sir❤
China has cracked down and I think they are correct . British era exams should be closed. IAS, IPS grades should be recruited from existing clerical, police.
True Sir. That's need to be done first
Governments pay more salaries to it's teachers more to adminstrative staff, has huge play grounds but couldn't compete with private schools and coaching centres. Because Governments don't dare to command teachers to teach in a better way and no punishments and incentives for worst & good teaching
Fantastic episode.
👌 intellectual insights
Nice provoking thought..which will happen in near future as present broken education system will lead the aspiring chain as knowledge seekers whose count is swelling would replace with right channels of knowledge delivery that is the birth right and constitutional right.
Thank you Regards, for your valuable insights, sure to be forthcoming..
Great, as always 👍
Its the people, we are responsible for all these. All such things will happen when we need it. I hope we all wake.up from the deep sleep.
Good Analysis sir
In olden days teaching was considered scared profession , but affected by cast system. We gain knowledge and used it, but now its business for both the one who runs , and the one who suffers
This was relevant and to the point talk.

This was one of the best videos on national interest and could have the most impact on Indian future if something is done about it
this thing you explain personally to LoP, because the chain he started will go very long.
I don't think we can do what China did. Indian coaching firms are very powerful and a huge lobby group. They are bigger than the film industry and have much better public image. They can literally bully the parliament to reverse that decision.
Not to mention it did not work in china.Parents who want their kids to outcompete others do find ways to send their kids to some coaching or the other.
Not to mention there is no explanation for distorting the free market...
No let's not mention that .His idiotic mafia theory is more click worthy.
