Ekya Schools Montessori Teacher salaries in India

Likes

There is nothing I liked about this school. They grill their employees. They take out thrice the work from the employees as compared to the salary given. There are no benefits given to the employees. They ask you to leave the next moment if they don't want you. They keep one of your original certificates with them so you can't leave them. But they can ask you to leave anytime.

Staffs are supportive

... obstacles in its approach towards teacher treatment and overall administration. Teachers experience a sense of undervaluation stemming from insufficient respect, inadequate compensation relative to their workload, and a lack of coordination among higher-ups. Essential facilities such as electricity, water, and refreshments fall short, while hygiene standards, notably in washrooms, are substandard. Academic emphasis appears disproportionately directed towards extracurricular activities, even within higher secondary education. Notice periods for teachers are insufficient, and policies often appear arbitrary and unreasonable. These issues collectively underscore a systemic problem of neglect towards staff well-being by higher authorities.

...merous extra classes, disregarding personal health issues or other concerns. 10. Delayed Final Salary: After resignation, there are numerous formalities to complete, but the last month's salary is often delayed without clear communication from HR. The policy mentions 45-day period for the documents and full and final settlement (that particular month) but lacks clarity on the previous month salary. The problem is they give you a complete LOP pay slip although you have worked the entire month; and the worst thing is they don't even give your last pay slip by themself, you'll have to send a mail and get it. 11. No job security: They will take you out of the job even if you have good reviews from the parents, only because they have lesser sections (less admissions) to deal with. 12. HR Policies: Its understandable that the HR Policy is one sided but they don't even follow it themselves. The HR department needs serious attention on an immediate basis. Everything else will start falling into places on its own post that. Being a teacher myself, I honestly suggest you not join this organization, you'll be at your worst. They neither pay you well nor do they treat you well.

...ork for mental heath but nothing.. No proper follow-up or communication channel. Transport is only given in the morning which needs to be paid for by our own salary. Evening no transport due to stay back, no pf, no perks. The school doesn't know the roles and responsibilities of a counselling specialist and asks to do some random work like maintaining discipline, and needs to assist sports teachers even with vacation camp students. They consider you not as a mental health professional but rather considered as a co-scholastic teacher. The original certificate they take and keep and every often if you see a behavioural trainer/ counsellor opening. you can see a counsellor with ethics resign. Join only if you are so desperate to join.

...ecisions. You have no authority to make even the simplest decisions on your own. The resignation process is extremely rigid, requiring a 3-month notice period; otherwise, your salary is withheld, and you are expected to pay the equivalent of 3 months' salary. if you're fired, there’s no notice period or settlement—you're expected to leave immediately on the same day. If the company opens a new branch, you're forced to relocate without any valid reasoning being considered, and there's no provision for conveyance or food allowances. they provide T-shirts for brand promotion, but shockingly, employees have to pay for them. Questioning this policy or raising concerns about it could lead to termination. There is no job safety, no provident fund (PF), and no insurance benefits provided. Employees are left to fend for themselves without any form of security or support from the organization. Overall, the working environment feels oppressive and authoritarian, more akin to a "Hitler organization" than a professional workplace. Definitely not recommended for those who value fairness, respect, and employee welfare.
