Abstract :
Teacher burnout has emerged as one of the major problems in education. It is one of the most important factors, which adversely affects the working quality of teachers. The major objective of the study was to find out the level of burnout in secondary school teachers on the basis of age, gender, and marital status. The study was carried out on a sample of 100 secondary school teachers drawn from two strata of government and private schools. To meet the objectives of the study, a descriptive survey method was used. The findings of the study revealed that secondary school teachers possess an average level of burnout. There is a high level of burnout in unmarried teachers compared to married ones. Female teachers experience more burnout than male teachers. Age of the teachers and their school type are not determining factors in burnout.
