“…Sampling techniques use multistage proportional random sampling so that the number of samples obtained is 256. Although all teachers must have the appropriate competencies required by law, private school teachers face a more difficult situation than public school teachers (Chudgar & Sakamoto, 2021;Fidan & Oztürk, 2015;Lopes & Oliveira, 2020;Nguyen et al, 2021). However, improving teachers' job satisfaction in private schools is very significant.…”

“…In general, the findings of this research are the same as previous research (Esthela et al, 2021;Lambert et al, 2021;Marmo et al, 2021). The difference is that this study was conducted in private schools whose conditions are very vulnerable to the perception of justice (Chudgar & Sakamoto, 2021;Nguyen et al, 2021;Sharar & Nawab, 2020). The higher the teacher's perception of organizational justice (JT), the better the attitude and behavior of teachers and non-teachers.…”

This descriptive case study examines the perspectives, beliefs and practices of independent private schoolteachers in India about the inclusion of students with special educational needs in general education classrooms. Data were collected through one‐to‐one interviews and focus group discussions with 10 teachers in an independent private school in South Delhi. The analysis of the data highlights that teachers possess limited knowledge regarding meeting the educational needs of students with disabilities in their classrooms. Teachers are faced with challenges in implementing full inclusion in the absence of consistent guidelines on inclusion, the definition of inclusive education in the legislative framework, the knowledge gap and the student‐centred approach. Additionally, the study identifies a lack of collaboration between teachers and parents as a potential factor leading to the non‐implementation of inclusive education practices. The study highlights the significance of professional development sessions in raising teachers' awareness about the importance of differentiation, individualised instruction and technology integration for achieving full inclusion. Key Points Private schoolteachers in India face challenges similar to those in public schools regarding the inclusion of students with special educational needs. Limited opportunities for collaboration and communication with stakeholders, coupled with financial considerations and a profit‐driven approach in some private schools, can overshadow the inclusion of students with special educational needs. Professional development sessions are crucial in enhancing teachers‘ awareness of collaboration, differentiation, individualised instruction and technology integration for achieving full inclusion. Policy makers should prioritise the development of clear and unambiguous guidelines for inclusive education in independent private schools, outlining responsibilities and mandating training programs for educators and administrators.

Traditionally, teaching has been considered a noble profession. However, it has become one of the most physically and intellectually demanding service occupations in the present day. Particularly, teacher stress harms both their health and their students’ learning and performance. Stressors for teachers might vary depending on the type of school administration. Although studies have established the stressors experienced by teachers in public schools, relatively little research has been conducted on the stressors experienced by teachers in private schools. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the most significant stressors affecting teachers in private schools. It employed an explorative qualitative research design using convenience sampling. Twenty-one school teachers (nine males and twelve females, mean age of 32, and average teaching experience of 7.5 years) participated in semi-structured telephone interviews that were recorded with a call recorder. The audio data was transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis, yielding five significant themes: concerns with compensation; poor work environment; demands from parents, students, and management; interpersonal problems at work; and excessive workload. The results revealed the presence of workplace bullying and jealousy in schools, as well as new sources of stress for instructors, such as student evaluations. In addition, the report highlighted how teachers' financial restrictions and administrative responsibilities were exacerbating their stress levels and recommended administrative initiatives, such as psychological interventions for the teachers' well-being.
