Maharashtra Teachers' Association Calls for Consultation on Coaching Regulation Law
The Professional Teachers Association of Maharashtra (PTAM) has urged the state government to consult coaching-class representatives before finalizing the Maharashtra Private Coaching Centres Registration and Regulation Act. Citing a Bombay High Court directive, PTAM supports regulation but opposes provisions it views as unreasonable, such as the registration threshold, restrictions on coaching children under 13, fee refund policies, and inspection powers. The association filed a writ petition seeking stakeholder engagement and adjustments to ensure fair and practical regulations for coaching institutions.
