Municipal teachers won’t get any break
Students may be looking forward to the 12-day holiday during the Commonwealth Games but teachers from municipal schools aren't. According to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), the Games Organising Committee (OC) had asked for teachers of MCD-run primary schools to be assigned duties at different places during the Games.

The civic agency said a total of 441 teachers would be posted at various places including the venues and stadia.
Officials said 82 teachers will be posted near the spectator stand and 99 teachers will work as venue administrator.

Twenty-five teachers will be made to work as workforce operators, 60 as venue operators, 60 for uniform distribution, eight for accommodation and 47 as cleaning supervisors.

"We have accepted the request of the OC and sent a list of teachers a few months ago. While 441 are on duty, some others have been kept on standby. All these teachers will be given a certificate for their participation," said Mahender Nagpal, chairman of the education committee of the MCD.

All the teachers participating in the Games will be provided with free transportation, lunch and uniform.
