Teachers always had challenging societal responsibility which has turned onerous during current pandemic period. The class rooms shifted to homes online, however teachers are made to go through gruelling 15-20 hours of 7x365 job routine with no breaks.
Most private schools have almost totally cut down on vacations and holidays. If Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four nightmare is visible somewhere it is in private school where management monitors every move of the teachers and tracks and trolls them asking for even geolocations to verify where they are online from. I know of a school in Noida where rules have been drafted for kind of causes teachers can take leave and for how many days for particular occasion. Teachers are mostly women these days and many are needy. Their exploitation due to cruel business greed of management must be addressed through legislative actions with punitive punishments made mandatory. Govt must frame rules for working hours for online jobs and make monitoring by regulators essential.
