Problems Faced By Pakistani School Teachers
I have been working in a Pakistani school in Kuwait for many years. Before the start of the current academic year many teachers were terminated from school because of “excess staff” and their classes were distributed to other teachers.
Now, we are not getting any fruitful results from students. Further, school bus duties for male and female teachers are being assigned forcefully, 5:45 am pickup time for teachers and in afternoon they come home as the last bus riders.
It doesn’t end here only, if any teacher refuses to perform the bus duty, they are threatened and explanation sought from them. The administration then takes appropriate action … which can even be termination from school.
My questions are as below:
■ Can the school administration assign out of school hours’ duties to teachers at out of school locations and make them work forcefully? Even if teacher is not ready to do it for the extra salary paid to him.
■ If no, can they terminate a teacher for this reason.

Answer: You need to have a close look at your contract and see what exactly are your duties. All schools have out of school activities and teachers can be assigned to these but again you need a look at your contract and see what it says… and yes, schools can fire you on any excuse …even without assigning any reason.
Please remember that if any institution requires you to perform overtime or extra duties you have no choice unless your contract specifically says that you can’t be assigned certain work.
