Maharashtra's School Education Minister Dada Bhuse announced that the state will soon have a separate law to regulate private coaching classes. The new legislation aims to bring private coaching centers under a uniform regulatory framework, covering aspects such as registration, fee structures, teacher qualifications, class timings, infrastructure, student safety, and advertising practices.
Key provisions include mandatory registration for coaching centers, restrictions on students below 13 years old, minimum educational qualifications for teachers, and a cap of five hours of coaching per day to prevent excessive academic pressure. The law also seeks to curb "dummy schools" and prevent private coaching centers from operating within recognized schools or colleges.
Coaching centers will be required to issue proper receipts for fees, refrain from making false claims, and face heavy penalties for violations. Public consultation is underway before finalizing the legislation.
