As a Guest Teacher at an Eklavya Model Residential School, your role will involve teaching students of tribal communities, contributing to their academic and holistic development. EMRS schools are fully residential, meaning teachers often play a more involved role in students’ lives beyond just academics. While these are temporary/part-time positions, they offer valuable experience in a unique educational setting, particularly beneficial for those looking to work in residential schools or with tribal communities. This experience can be a strong asset for future permanent positions in EMRS or other government/private institutions.
