Nagpur, 01 Sep (HS) The Maharashtra Government's School Education Department has issued a comprehensive timetable for the government school teachers. The teachers are not only required to complete academic responsibilities, but are also required to contribute to a wide range of administrative and extracurricular activities. The structured plan balances both aspects without overburdening the teachers with non-academic activities or affecting the academic aspects.
According to
the circular, teachers will now devote their time to campaigns like literacy
promotion, cleanliness drives in schools, parent-teacher meetings, enrollment
awareness, election awareness programs, tree plantation, special observance
days like Independence Day, Republic Day, and Ekta Diwas, along with other
initiatives. They will also supervise mid-day meal programs, encourage the use of
libraries, ensure remedial teaching for board exam students of classes 10 and
12, promote digital literacy, and help implement government welfare schemes
within schools. By preparing a timetable that integrates all these duties, the
state education department aims to bring uniformity across schools and
streamline teachers’ roles so that there is clarity in expectations.
Education
officials have pointed out that for years, teachers have been pulled into multiple
non-academic assignments, which often disrupt classroom teaching. With this
initiative, however, the department has given a clear structure that will not
only reduce unnecessary pressure but also safeguard the importance of
academics. The timetable will also help school administrators monitor the
implementation of such programs more effectively. Teachers across the state
will now work within a uniform framework that balances both their teaching load
and their involvement in community-oriented campaigns, thus ensuring that
students’ education remains the central priority while also fulfilling the
state’s social and developmental objectives.
