Hyderabad: The Telangana government is set to ban government teachers, lecturers and professors from taking classes in private coaching centres or tutorials. Those violating the ban may be sacked.
Penal and criminal cases will be filed against managements of coaching centres if they are found to be employing staff from government institutions.
These norms are being devised as part of the TS Tutorial Institutions (Registration and Regulation) Rules, to be promulgated by the Governor.
However, a previous ban on government doctors from private practice or working in private hospitals proved to be a damp squib.
Under the new rules, all coaching centres need to register afresh with the state government giving details of faculty, infrastructure, number of students and fee structure, which will be inspected from time to time.
This follows largescale complaints that coaching centres were fleecing students by collecting hefty fees and not providing minimum facilities or qualified faculty.
