Madhya Pradesh Boosts Guest Teacher Leave
In Madhya Pradesh, guest teachers will now get up to 10 days of casual leave during the school year.
They earn one day of leave for every 30 days they work.
They can use up to 3 days at a time.
This change helps teachers have more time off, but some worry it might cause problems in schools when teachers are on leave.
About 90,000 guest teachers will benefit from this new rule.
Guest teachers in Madhya Pradesh will receive up to 10 days of casual leave per academic session.
Leave accumulates at a rate of 1 day per 30 days of service.
