Tamil Nadu's education policy bans coaching centers

Tamil Nadu's State Education Policy (SEP) committee has recommended banning private coaching centers operating alongside schools and colleges, aiming to protect the institutions. The committee, led by Justice D Murugesan, submitted its recommendations last year, citing concerns about the unregulated nature of coaching centers and their potential to undermine schools. The report also suggests curriculum changes to address caste issues. Other recommendations include regulating deemed universities, restricting foreign university entry, and standardizing school entry ages. The report also proposes changes to curriculum, exams, and teacher selection.
