Abstract
Tuition may have beneficial dimensions but the scale on which it is being conducted in Kashmir- unregularised & unregulated, puts student community under tremendous pressure and motivate their parents to invest in it, primarily because their mainstream or subject teachers in schools emphasize the desirability of it and on the other hand their families consider tutoring force majeure for advancement in academics.
Among the most problematic aspects are cases in which tuition becomes a substitute for the mainstream. Especially near the time of major external examinations, all most all the schools in the valley wear deserted looks- sans the students.
Policymakers and planners in Kashmir must confront it in order to identify and arrive at appropriate regulations and proactive measures for the betterment of prevalent unregularized and unregulated informal education sector. The objective should not only be to control and steer: but to bring in quality.
