Pragati, an Indian educator teaching in Japan, recently highlighted the country’s positive work culture for teachers through her Instagram account, lucknowiinjapan. In a post that has garnered over 4 million views, she emphasized the respect and fairness extended to educators, where even small contributions are acknowledged and extra work is compensated.

She explained that if a teacher works overtime, even for just half an hour, it is duly paid, while any tardiness results in a proportional deduction. “They are always thankful if we do extra work and never force us to work beyond our hours,” Pragati noted, praising the balanced and professional environment.

Pragati also pointed out the Japanese school system’s emphasis on time management and accountability, where punctuality and efficiency are treated seriously. She contrasted this with the experience of many Indian teachers, where long hours often go uncompensated and unrecognized.

Her post sparked a strong reaction on social media, with users lauding Japan’s system. Comments included, “Dream life of Indian teachers,” and reflections on the struggles faced by educators in India, especially in private schools, where they often remain at work until all tasks are completed without adequate recognition.

Education experts say Pragati’s observations highlight the potential benefits of structured work environments, proper compensation for overtime, and acknowledgment of small contributions. Her insights have ignited conversations about teacher welfare, work-life balance, and systemic reforms in India’s school systems.
