Condition of teachers in lockdown.

Teacher’s condition in lockdown in India

“In is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge”.

• Albert Einstein

A Meerut-based English teacher had experience. “At least twice I was abused by parents who were angry at my incessant calling. I have been asked to call up 30 ‘defaulters’ every day. Fees collection is school management’s duty, not that of teachers, but everyone is afraid to say no since there is insecurity about jobs due to the pandemic”, she said.

In this outbreak of coronavirus, everyone’s life has been shaken. School, Student and Teacher have been affected very badly.

Teaching has taken to the online platform and the difficulty faced by teachers is ignored by everyone.

We have to through the light on these unresolved issues.

Some of the Complications faced by teachers :-

• They were not given any specific training for online classes.

• They were not given a proper set for WiFi even they are bearing the cost of internet by themselves.

• Many of them do not have touch screen phones.

• In many remote areas, the problem of the network is constant.

• They, face bullying and misbehaviour from students.

• They were forced to do the thing which they don’t want to do to save their only source of income and employment security in the pandemic.

• They were not paid on time or even a full salary, although private schools and coalleges are getting full payment from students.

College from Delhi University reported abusive and misbehaviour from students from zoom call.

  Links have been shared with other student teachers.

A teacher from Utter Pradesh reported that class 9 students had been showing his private part to her.

It’s sad to see senior teachers struggling to get video or audio on for class and then the whole class disrespect them.

Some students find it amusing t9 tease teachers or see them struggling. Every teacher gives their 100% to teach us . They have been facing pressure from both the ends institute and students.

In this pandemic everyone going through hard time and it’s high time to support each other .
