Indian Education Panel Proposes Reforms to Curb Coaching Culture, Shift Exam Timelines

A government-appointed committee in India is proposing significant reforms to reduce student reliance on private coaching centers. Key suggestions include capping daily coaching hours to 2-3, potentially shifting entrance exams like JEE and NEET to Class XI, and redesigning school curricula to better align with competitive tests. The panel also considers increasing the weightage of board exam scores for college admissions and allowing multiple attempts for entrance exams to alleviate student pressure and burnout.
