Abstract

Increased demand for private coaching for students is a global scenario irrespective of the student's achievement level, level of education, parental socio-economic status, and residential locality. But in research literature, there is no such comprehensive framework for scientific conceptualization about the causes and consequences of this high demand for private coaching. The primary target of this paper is to explore the reasons for high demand for private coaching from stakeholders' perspectives and its consequences on mainstream education and society. It is found that though each stakeholder has their own perspective or context for private coaching, their perspectives and contexts are mutually inclusive and come under broad causes of academic, personal, social, cultural and competitive ecology. Though private coaching has both positive and negative socio-educational consequences, these consequences should be considered by policymakers in light of multiple contexts of prevalence.
