Quick Summary

New guidelines from the Ministry of Education prohibit coaching centres from enrolling students under 16. This discussion seeks clarification on whether this applies to private tuition for younger primary school children (Classes 1-5). While generally considered permissible as 'ability building' and interest-generating, the guidelines' definition of 'more than 50 students' remains ambiguous, though commonly understood as at any given time.

28 September 2024 Thanks Sir. Yes, such class should be allowed as per the guidelines if the number of students is below 50.
Also, such tuitions are mostly "ability building" classes as well as create an interest in the specific subject so it should be allowed.
However the guidelines does not specify what it means by "more than 50 students". does it mean "more than 50 students in a year" or "more than 50 students at particular point in time" as it will have different implications.
