Unregulated academies pose risks
The fatal collapse of the roof of a tuition academy in the Kahna area has underscored the plight of thousands of children daily attending tuition centres operating in houses, rented shops and commercial plazas without a licensing directive structure or safety certification.
A large number of learners may be studying in buildings whose condition has not been independently assessed.
The tragedy which asserted the lives of 14 children and left several others injured has prompted criminal investigations against the academy's management and the building's owners.
Recovery effort teams spent hours clearing debris while parents searched desperately for their children.
Although the immediate focus remains on determining responsibility for the collapse, the event has drawn attention to a broader regulatory failure affecting the expanding tuition sector.
Private academies have become an essential part of the learning system as increasing competition drives learners towards after-school coaching. In almost every urban neighbourhood, tuition centres operate in residential properties, upper floors of commercial buildings and small rented premises.
