Teachers at the School of Eminence in Amritsar have been granted relief from non‑academic duties, a decision welcomed by the school’s principal.
The School of Eminence in Amritsar announced that its teachers will no longer be required to perform non‑academic duties such as administrative paperwork, event coordination and custodial tasks. The move, aimed at allowing educators to focus more on teaching and student development, was approved by the school’s governing body earlier this week.
Non‑academic responsibilities have long been a source of strain for teachers, diverting time and energy away from lesson planning and classroom interaction. By eliminating these tasks, the school hopes to improve job satisfaction and academic outcomes.
Principal Dr. Anil Sharma expressed his enthusiasm, stating that the decision "will free teachers to devote their full attention to pedagogy and student support, which is the core mission of our institution." He added that the administration will monitor the impact of the change over the coming months.
The policy is expected to set a precedent for other private schools in the region, potentially prompting a broader review of teacher workload across Punjab’s educational sector.
