Teachers Criticize Enrollment Pressure in Private Schools
A man named Kothuru Satyanarayana Gupta, who started a group called Janata Foundation, is upset about how some private schools in Kurnool, India, are treating their teachers.
He says the schools are making teachers focus more on getting new students than on teaching well.
This makes teachers worried about their jobs.
Gupta wants the government to do something about this and make sure teachers are safe in their jobs.
He thinks teachers should be hired because they are good at teaching, not because they can bring in more students.
Teachers in private schools in Kurnool are pressured to meet enrollment targets.
Criticism raised by Janata Foundation founder Kothuru Satyanarayana Gupta.
Teachers' job security is tied to admissions rather than teaching performance.
Gupta demands education department intervention to address the issue.
