In present education system, where most of the teachers of schools are running parallel commercial coaching in their tuition centres and compelling students to take private coaching but to break this commercialization of education in the name of private tuition centres,  a seed of education is already planted this year at Gauripur (Assam) with 100's of students in the name of Assam Heritage Senior Secondary School with the message that "Our students don't need any private tuitions as because we are with them".

 

This newly established higher secondary school at Gauripur really is an example and takes challenges to break the parallel tuition system which is slowly killing the aim and objective of the schools and colleges in the society.

 

It is a fact, that the interest of students to attend the school is gradually losing, rather they become ironically dependent on private tuitions of their school teacher and if this goes on, the country will lose the best brains and talents who cannot afford the fees of private tuition.
