Not only are private coaching centers charging huge amounts from students, but many other questions are also being raised. There is a demand to rein them in. In such a situation, the Union Education Minister, while answering a question in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, made it clear that the government wants to bring students out of the world of coaching centers and every legal and social effort will be made for this. In this, the government 'Saathi' (Self Assessment, Test and Help of Entrance Exam) will be effective.
