We don’t need this education: Increasing number of student suicides in India is sending a clear message
Published : Sep 21, 2023 11:00 IST - 10 MINS READ When students who have spent more than a decade at school decide to end their life, the message is not all that difficult to decipher. The coaching industry contributes significantly to the city’s economy, and that is one reason why successive governments have shown little interest in regulating it. Proxy schools enable students taking coaching classes to appear in board exams without attending classes. Highlights The increasing number of student suicides in India is sending a clear message about the education system and the challenging environment it creates for young learners. If eligibility exams like NEET and JEE were not so charged with cut-throat competition, the senior secondary level schools would function more sanely, leading to better performance by children who have no support system at home.
