Karnataka Teachers Request Relief from Non-Academic Duties Affecting Classroom Work
Teachers in Karnataka report being increasingly assigned non-academic tasks such as the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, caste surveys, and data entry, which detract from their primary teaching duties. They express concerns over juggling these responsibilities alongside lessons and examinations, citing impacts on student learning and their own well-being. On Teachers' Day, educators and private school associations petitioned the state government to relieve teachers from such duties to preserve teaching quality and respect for the profession.
