Fewer school-level panels to reduce burden on teachers

To reduce the non-academic workload on teachers, the Maharashtra government has streamlined the number of school-level committees from 15 to just four.

MUMBAI: The change, formalized through a government resolution issued on Wednesday, will be implemented primarily in zilla parishad-run and government-run schools.

As per the new structure, schools will now operate only four core committees: the School Management Committee (SMC), the Student Facilities and Physical Development Committee, the Sakhi Savitri Committee, and the Women's Grievance Redressal Committee. This consolidation comes as a direct response to long-standing demands from teachers to be relieved of administrative overload.
