# Supreme Court dismisses plea to regulate private coaching centres and dummy schools 2026-08-07T10:05:22+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Supreme Court on August 7 dismissed a writ petition that sought a uniform national framework to regulate private coaching centres and dummy schools. A bench of Justice PS Narasimha and Justice Alok Aradhe told the petitioner, Advocate Narendra Kumar Goswami, to approach the High Court instead of invoking Article 32 directly. The petition had cited student suicides in Kota, Rajasthan, and misleading ads by coaching centres. Goswami also sought mandatory biometric attendance for school students to curb dummy schools, where children enrol for board exams but skip regular classes. The court gave him liberty to move the High Court. CBSE has previously warned that students missing regular school will not be allowed to take Class 12 board exams. ## Coverage - livelaw.in - timesnownews.com Tags: Article 32, coaching centres, education, student welfare, Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/supreme-court-rejects-plea-for-national-coaching-centre-regulation/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
