The recent High Court ruling against a so-called “dummy school” has brought the issue of fake education into sharp focus. These schools exist mainly on paper and allow students to skip regular classes while focusing only on coaching centres. While this may seem convenient, it weakens the foundation of real learning and misleads students and parents.

Fake education systems focus on certificates and exam results rather than knowledge, discipline, and growth. The court’s decision makes it clear that education cannot be reduced to attendance waivers or shortcuts to success. Schools are meant to provide structured teaching, academic discipline, and overall development. When institutions fail to deliver real classroom education, students lose valuable learning opportunities that shape their future.

This judgment also sends a strong message to institutions that misuse education rules and regulations. It protects families who may unknowingly trust such systems, believing they offer a legitimate path to success. While competitive exams are important, they should support—not replace—formal schooling.

The High Court’s action is not against ambition; it is against fake education practices that harm students and the education system. Quality education requires honesty, accountability, and commitment. This ruling serves as a reminder that real learning cannot be replaced by shortcuts.
