Guest teachers relieved for summer, may be called back

As Delhi schools break for the summer, the Directorate of Education (DoE) has directed heads of government and taken-over schools to temporarily discontinue the services of guest teachers from May 11 to June 30.

NEW DELHI:

The move aligns with the department's standard vacation schedule.

A recent circular from the DoE outlines that while guest teachers will not be engaged in routine academic duties during the vacation period, school heads are permitted to recall them for specific responsibilities such as admissions, examinations, summer enrichment programmes, or remedial classes.

Such appointments, however, require prior approval from the district's deputy director of education and must adhere to the established remuneration norms.
