Agartala: The Directorate of Secondary Education in Tripura has issued a formal directive to all government schools, demanding stricter adherence to prescribed weekly teaching workloads. Officials at Shiksha Bhavan in Agartala cited widespread non-compliance and gaps in current timetables as the primary motivation for this mandate.
The department requires school leaders, including Principals and Headmasters, to conduct at least 11 teaching periods each week, excluding tutorial time. Assistant Headmasters and Vice-Principals face a higher requirement of 22 periods weekly. Meanwhile, assistant teachers are now mandated to complete 25 teaching periods, plus an additional 11 periods dedicated to grading homework and other academic support tasks.
The memorandum insists that these workloads must be fully integrated into school schedules with sincerity. The directive states that the prescribed teaching workload must be integrated into school schedules without deviation and implemented with utmost sincerity.
District Education Officers and Inspectors are tasked with monitoring these institutions to ensure the rules are followed in both letter and spirit. This administrative push intends to boost classroom engagement, enforce academic discipline, and maximize the utility of instruction hours throughout the state education system.
