Female students at Mahatma Gandhi School in Sawai Madhopur locked the main gate to demand more teachers, raising slogans.
Female pupils at Mahatma Gandhi School in Sawai Madhopur staged a gate‑lock protest on Monday, citing a severe shortage of teaching staff. The students secured the main entrance with a lock and chanted slogans demanding immediate recruitment of teachers.
The shortage has reportedly left several classes understaffed, affecting the quality of instruction and prompting concerns among parents and students alike. According to the protestors, the lack of teachers has led to irregular timetables and increased workload for the existing faculty.
School authorities acknowledged the issue, stating that they have submitted a request to the district education office for additional teachers. They appealed to the demonstrators to resume normal classes while the recruitment process is underway.
Local officials have been informed of the situation and are expected to review the staffing shortfall. No further escalation has been reported as of the latest update.
