Subject : Increasing Dependence on Coaching Institutions 

Sir 

Through the columns of your reputed newspaper I wish to draw the attention of the general public towards the increasing dependence of students on the coaching institutes. It has generally been observed that students rely more on coaching institutions than on schools. The reason behind this is that these centres are easily accessible and more practice-based. On the other hand, schools prepare students only for the Board Exams and not for the entrance exams. 

This trend can be checked by ensuring that teaching in the school classroom is not just limited to board-oriented syllabus. They must prepare students for competitive exams also. Schools must provide more practice-material to the students. The environment of the classroom should be such that the students get interested in studies.

Teachers should pay attention to the individual problems. 

I hope you will publish this letter in your newspaper so that the concerned authorities become aware of their shortcomings and do the needful. 

Thanking you 

Yours sincerely 

Arun
