JAIPUR: Government teachers protested outside the SDM office, demanding freedom from BLO (Booth Level Officer) work. During this protest, teachers stated that under the RTE Act 2009, teachers should be exempted from non-educational duties. Therefore, government teachers should be exempted from BLO work. Teachers declared that they will not perform any BLO duties going forward. Children from economically disadvantaged families study in government schools run by the Rajasthan government. However, due to teachers being assigned non-educational duties, teachers cannot dedicate their full time to the school. Children studying in government schools have the right to education. Both the central and state governments have granted the right to education to children. However, due to teachers being assigned non-educational duties, students are being deprived of their rights. Teachers mentioned that some teachers who refused to do BLO work have received notices from the SDM. In this situation, teachers are warned that if their demand is not met, they will be forced to protest. During the protest, a large number of teachers were present.
