Private School Teachers Demand Holiday on Second Saturday in Hyderabad

There has been a growing demand among private school teachers to declare the second Saturday of every month as a holiday.

It has come to light that many private and corporate schools continue to operate despite the Telangana government calendar designating second Saturdays as holidays.

Teachers have repeatedly highlighted that they



work up to 10 hours a day and therefore deserve a day off on second Saturdays. They also pointed out that they are often required to complete administrative tasks at home, further extending their working hours.

Citing that government employees receive a holiday on second Saturdays, the teachers questioned why the same rule does not apply to private schools.
