Central Board Of Secondary Education [CBSE] — Bhavans Vidya Mandir

The teachers are over worked and mistreated.

I am a husband of a teacher in bhavans vindya mandir. The situaion is very bad. The teachers are working 7 days a week, spending an average of 12 hours a day. Yes they are paid state level pay, but is that a reason to over work the teachers?

Working days and hours

By standard, the school starts at 830am, teachers have to arrive by 745 am or 815 am. The class ends at 330pm.
After reaching home like at 5 pm or so, the calls start coming in. Directing everyone to do badic clerical tasks or other menial tasks, that extends till 1030 pm.

Weekends and extra duties

1st and 3rd Saturday is working, same timings.
Mostly sundays are working as the institution has acxpeted the contract to hold various entrance examination. The teachers are demanded to be available for invigilation duty. The time starts from 7am to 5pm. They are not even given a chance to accept or reject the invigilation duty.

2nd and 4th Saturday are usually holidays. The institution has planned training sessions at all 4th Saturday. It starts from 730am to 3pm. The training sessions are held at various branches spred across the state, so now teachers have to travel to various locations for the same.

The teachers are then scrutinized by parents and management into overworking and stripping of freedom of thought and speech. They are now loosing dignity and sanity.

I humbly request the concerned authorities to look into the matter and enfore a strict policy for teachers as they are the back bone of the future.
