Study by the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) reveals that Teachers in Delhi’s government and municipal corporation-run schools spend less time teaching and more time in school management duties. It is affecting the quality and time spent on academic tasks, as well as teacher morale.

The survey was conducted by the Centre for Policy Research, a think-tank, to evaluate the time spent by teachers in various activities, available infrastructure and how it affects the quality of academics.

“One of the most crucial findings was that teachers were overburdened with record keeping work, in particular, corporation schools, which do not have data entry operators,” said Anurag Kundu, member, DCPCR.
