Karnataka Proposes Law to Limit Teachers’ Non-Academic Duties Amid Disruptions
Karnataka teachers have welcomed proposed legislation to limit their deployment for non-academic duties like electoral roll revision, census work, and surveys, citing disruptions to teaching and syllabus completion. Teachers report that involvement in Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and other administrative tasks since June 2026 has affected academic activities and student enrolment. The government plans to maintain district-wise non-teaching personnel rolls and aims to pass the law in the upcoming winter session to address these concerns.
