Identification of Problems Faced By School Teachers due to Extra Duties

    Teachers play a crucial role in society by providing knowledge and guidance to future generations. In Pakistan, teachers often face extra responsibilities such as election, polio vaccination, and administrative tasks, which negatively impact their students' academic performance. This research investigates the impact of extra duties on teaching practices in Tehsil Chak Jhumra, Faisalabad. A descriptive survey method was used, with 130 teachers from government secondary and higher secondary schools selected through cluster sampling. Teachers' challenges were identified using a questionnaire, with validity confirmed by expert opinions and reliability tested through pilot trials using SPSS. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22. The study's obtained data was analysed utilising statistical tools such as frequency, average, mean, and standard deviation. The study suggested that teachers should only participate in additional responsibilities that are fairly compensated and align with their interests to ensure that their educational effectiveness remains unaffected.
