The Phenomenon is more pronounced in the developing countries where standard of education in school is poor.
Consequently, parents are forced by such circumstances and send their children for private tuition.
In Pakistan in general and in Karachi in Particular more and more tuition culture is coming up due to our dysfunctional education system

Evolution of Private Tuition in
Pakistan
The days when I attended school about four decades
ago, it was a matter of great shame if anyone was
taking extra help by attending tuitions besides school.
All bright students took pride in their results, as their
performance was a result of their original hard work
and not engineered through tuition factories.

During the last two decades it has become a
fashion, as well as a necessity, to take tuition to
secure first class grades in the exams.
Now almost all the parents have replaced their
efforts with tuition bills where as teachers have
commercialized their profession of teaching to
exploit the most honorable profession of all the
times.

The weak students are identified by the school
and extra effort is made by the teachers to bring
them at par with the average level of the class.
In our society, schools pay little attention to assist
weak students and instead are identified by the
teachers and recommended to take evening
tuitions in order to improve their grades.
14 http://www.dawn.com/news/765509/private-tuitions-just-an-easy-way-out 11/7/2016
It is also very unfortunate to see that parents have
already given their responsibility up by paying
heavy fees for schools and home tutors.
The parents kill the meaning of education and
tutors kill the concept of schools.
15 http://www.dawn.com/news/765509/private-tuitions-just-an-easy-way-out 11/7/2016
Parents further hand their children over to the
tutors for fulfilling the requirements of schools.
Unaware of what they are turning their kids into,
parents have reduced their children to hostages in
their lives.
The bigger game of face saving in society is played
by parents by using the result cards of their
children as the certificate of talented parents.16 The Dawn, Tuition Industry , A class Act, Friday 8th April 20162016 11/7/2016

Karachi is the biggest City of Pakistan with
population of almost Twenty (20) million.
It is the business hub of the country and generates
around 70% of the total revenue of the country
per year.

Approximately one million students appear in the
SSC/HSC/Universities Examination every year in
Karachi.
The number of Government & Private Schools,
Colleges and Institutions are unable to fulfil the
standard of Education as per requirement of the
students and their parents in different stages.

Over past twenty years or so our country has
developed a unique culture of evening tuition
Public schools and colleges are now de-facto
‘facilitation centers’ or ‘liaison offices’ of Board of
Intermediate and Secondary Education of various
divisions.

The parents and teachers are fanatical with
high grades/marks of the students, using it
as the only yard stick for success in their
lives.
Technology equipped with audio and video
can not replace books, teachers and
parents.

Although by the time there isn’t any kind of
registration process available in Karachi, in respect
of tuition Centers but on a very rough estimate in
numbers; there are thousands of tuition Centers
existed in Karachi.
Out of those, a few tuition Centers have very good
reputations in society and having several branches
in Karachi like Student inn, Practical Center,
Meritorious & Adamjee etc.

Gain of extra knowledge that may not learn in theschool.
Students can better at private tuition centers as tuitioncenter environment is better.
Can exchange ideas and exam questions with newfriends there.
Private tuition is a window to exchange and channelizethe energy of the students towards greater productivity.
Best way for learning to individual student.
Focus on a particular subject that’s need to grasp.

Should we ban Private Tuition
The Dawn, Private Tuition a necessary evil, 8th January 201227
There is a debate that private tuition should be banned in Karachi but on the other hand there are people who argue that banning tuition would prove to be more harmful.
So I have analyzed both the point of views which can help us to reach at reasonable conclusion
11/7/2016
Arguments Against banning
The Dawn, Private Tuition- just an easy way out dated Nov 20,201228
Not all the students are same; some can
grasp the lessons quickly in the class;
whereas some cant due to various reasons
like distractions, explanation gaps. Hence
they need extra support, wherein private
tutors can help them understand those
important key points once again
Now a days the minimum number of students
in each class is more than 50 students in
Karachi and it’s easy for the kids to get
distracted by friends while chit- chatting and
makes them loose interest in studies and
hence they need extra help in terms of studies
11/7/2016
Arguments against banning
The Dawn, Tuition Industry , A class Act, Friday 8th April 2016201629
Children today have their attention directed towards television, internet, games, etc. and hence tuition help them cope up with studies as well
Private tutors can effectively deal with weak and ‘difficult to handle’ students, inspire them to study hard and improve them
In higher classes, the level of education also increases and additional help to score better is also necessary, specifically now when there is competition prevailing in every field at a very young age

Arguments in favour of banning
The Dawn, Private Tuition a necessary evil, 8th January 201231
It adds to the burden of the students, as they not only receive home-works by school teachers but also from their private tutors, hence leaving them with no or less time for extra –curricular activities, which would help them to refresh their mind
Private tuitions are often expensive and cannot be paid by all parents
The standard of teaching in the classroom deteriorates, if the teacher conducts private tuitions in the wake of earning some extra bucks.

The standard of teaching in the classroom deteriorates, if the teacher conducts private tuitions in the wake of earning some extra bucks
To prove the class of their private tuitions, they may indulge in ‘practice test’ to help those students help clear exams with distinction in schools

It is surprising to see that little policy attention has
been paid to what some academic now recognize as
third most important education sector.
The option of giving ( for the teachers) and receiving
(for the students) tuition outside of normal school hour
change the incentives structure of the provision of
high quality instruction within the standard school
system which in turn has implication for equity and
social justice.

The relationship between private tutoring and
student achievement is also increasingly
gaining policy attention as it calls into question
the quality of schooling during schooling hour.
In conclusion, poor facilities, outdated
curriculum, untrained, uninterested and
incompetent teachers are some factors which
needs to be addressed if we are serious in
lowering dependence on private tuition and
improve quality education
