Khan Sir: Bihar government takes major action, implements strict model code of conduct for coaching institutes Khan Sir: Bihar government takes major action, implements strict model code of conduct for coaching institutes – ..

A very sensational and big news is coming out from the education world of Bihar and the hub of preparation for competitive exams. The Bihar government has now taken a very strict stance regarding Patna’s famous teacher ‘Khan Sir’ and many other coaching operators like him. The administration alleges that some coaching institutes and teachers, for their personal interests or social media reach, directly or indirectly instigate students to take law and order into their own hands. After this controversy gained momentum, the state government has taken a historic decision to rein in the coaching mafias and uncontrolled coaching centres, and has implemented a strict ‘Model Code of Conduct’ (code of conduct) for the coaching institutes across Bihar.

Administration woke up after allegations of instigating students

This entire controversy deepened when the role of statements and social media videos of some big coaching operators came to light in the many student movements and violent demonstrations that took place in recent times. According to government sources and intelligence reports, some teachers are taking advantage of their popularity to play with the sentiments of the youth and inspire them to take to the streets. Taking this matter seriously, the administration has made it clear that any teacher who plays with the future of students and the law and order of the state will not be spared. Khan Sir coaching controversy has emerged as the biggest face of this episode, after which the government was forced to take this tough step.

What is special in the new guidelines and how will the screws be tightened?

Under the new ‘Model Code of Conduct’ issued by the government, now the rules for all the coaching institutes of Bihar will change completely. According to the new rules, no coaching institute or teacher will be able to share any such statement, inflammatory speech or post on social media or inside the classroom that may spread dissatisfaction among the students or inspire them for violent demonstrations. Along with this, coaching institutes will now have to submit complete reports of their fee structure, faculty information, infrastructure and security standards to the district administration. The registration of institutions violating the rules will be immediately canceled and heavy fines will be imposed on them as well as legal action.

Chaos in coaching hub of Bihar and reaction of teachers

After this tough decision, there has been a stir in big coaching areas of Patna like Musallahpur Haat, Bhikhana Pahari and Boring Road. While on one hand students and parents are justifying this step of the government in terms of security and transparency, on the other hand some coaching operators believe that under the guise of this code of conduct, the administration may try to suppress the voice of teachers. No official statement has yet come from Khan Sir on this entire controversy and the new guidelines, but experts say that this new law will forever change the direction and condition of Bihar’s coaching industry worth billions of rupees.
