Teachers' Rights and Employment Law

Teachers’ rights and employment law in education govern the legal protections and responsibilities of educators in their workplace. This includes rights to fair treatment, such as non-discrimination based on race, gender, or disability, and protections against unfair dismissal. Teachers also have the right to organize, advocate for better working conditions, and receive due process in disciplinary actions. Employment contracts outline specific terms of employment, including salary and job expectations. These laws ensure that teachers can work in an environment that is safe, equitable, and conducive to both their professional growth and the education of students.
