Rajasthan frees special‑needs teachers from non‑academic tasks to focus on classroom instruction

The state education department of Rajasthan issued new guidelines aimed at improving support for children with special needs in schools. Under the directive, heads of institutions in Shri Ganganagar and Alwar are instructed to discontinue assigning additional non‑academic responsibilities to teachers who work with these students.

By removing the extra workload, the department expects special‑education teachers to devote their full attention to instructional activities and individualized learning plans. Officials said the move will help raise the quality of education for children requiring special assistance.

The policy reflects a broader effort by the Rajasthan government to strengthen inclusive education and ensure that resources are directed toward classroom teaching rather than administrative or ancillary tasks.
