According to Sheik Shabbir Ali, president of Telangana Private Teachers Forum,"We have took the matter with the CBSE and it will be good if they ask private schools for details of teachers and administrative staff and the duties they perform." The forum is one of the associations that took up the matter with the board.
"Unlike government school teachers, private ones can’t even complain for the fear of losing their jobs", he said.
According to an official, In CBSE rules, a private school should have a separate set of teaching and non-teaching staff. "By burdening them (teachers) with non-teaching work, we kill their creativity and education will suffer."
