The founder of Super 30 pointed out that today in coaching centers people refer to parents as “clients”.

New Delhi: Anand Kumar, founder of educational program Super 30, claims that 90% of coaching institutes will disappear in the next 10-15 years.

“In the next 10-15 years, 90% of these coaching institutes are going to disappear. Nowadays, most people have set up marketing teams in coaching centers and students have now become consumers,” Anand Kumar told news agency ANI after three UPSC aspirants drowned in the basement of Rau's Study Circle in Delhi's old Rajendra Nagar on July 27.

Why are students coming to Delhi?

When asked about the need for students to leave their home states and cities to study in Delhi despite the abundance of online content, Kumar replied, “They can read. I could be wrong. In the next 10 to 15 years, 90 percent of these coaching institutes are going to disappear. I can say this from my experience.”

“Now only one percent of the experiments have been in the area of ​​online classes. Curriculum for online classes with good quality content is yet to be developed. If some dedicated group of teachers create such content, students can sit at home and do online classes and they will benefit more than offline classes,” he said.

Appeal to Govt for UPSC Candidates

Appealing to the government for UPSC aspirants, Kumar said, “I would like to appeal to the government to form a team and provide free coaching for UPSC aspirants. A good book like NCERT is written after many years of effort. I am praising the book, not the government. I appreciate the team involved in writing the book. I read class 11 and 12 books and feel good. So the education department should take a similar initiative and start a big portal dedicated to online coaching.”

Describing the incident at Old Rajendra Nagar, where three UPSC examinees tragically lost their lives, as “extremely tragic”, Anand Kumar remarked that students have become mere customers of coaching centres. He urged the coaching centers to prioritize the interest of students over financial gain.

A small number of students should register

“The news of the tragedy that took the lives of three innocent students who had come to Delhi to appear for the UPSC examination was very sad. I offer my heartfelt condolences for the eternal peace of his departed soul and pray for his soul to rest in peace. When such incidents happen, such a problem comes to light but it is the responsibility of the government to check from time to time and I request the coaching institutes not to rush. Just to make money,” he said. He also asserted that a small number of students should register so that there is suitable seating arrangement for them.

“I received many offers from investors to sell the franchise of my coaching institute, so that it can be expanded, but my conscience did not allow me to do so. I request coaching institutes to not make education a business but to continue the teaching process with the interests of the children at the center,” Kumar said. said further.
