With just over a month to go for the Std X and Std XII board examinations, representatives of the Principals’ Association met officials of the Maharashtra State Board to flag multiple concerns faced by teachers and school heads ahead of supervision duties, with poor remuneration emerging as the central issue.

According to association members and principals of civic schools in Mumbai, teachers were paid Rs 25 for supervising a three-hour examination until last year. The amount varies based on the nature of the duty assigned, but principals said there is still no clarity on the remuneration structure for the current academic year.
