Teachers in Mumbai are boycotting election duties due to being overwhelmed with additional responsibilities amidst exam preparations. They argue that the Right to Education Act exempts them from non-teaching duties, except those related to the census, elections, vote counting, and emergencies. Teachers are questioning how they can manage these election tasks while also focusing on exam preparation and daily online updates. The burden of election duties exclusively placed on teachers raises concerns about the educational prospects of middle-class students in government and private-aided schools.
