Private schools

These days, education has become a business. People with small investment can set up a school anywhere in a residential locality. However, schools which are set up in residential area do not qualify as school as many of these for-profit entities lack the basic facilities that are essential for running a school. Small rooms are turned into class rooms where students are stuffed like chickens. These schools are not different than a poultry farm. The management of such schools hires under-qualified teachers who have failed to offer quality education to students.

The education department should take proper steps effectively play its monitory role to regularize the affairs of Private schools.
