It is not reasonable to arrange for school teachers to be on duty 24 hours a day during the winter break, and it is very likely to be a formalism.

According to China's "Teachers Law" and relevant education regulations, teachers enjoy the statutory right to rest and vacation, and requiring teachers to be on duty 24 hours a day during the holiday is contrary to the protection of teachers' rights and interests.

Secondly, the teacher's job responsibilities are defined, and the main responsibility of the teacher is to carry out educational and teaching activities, rather than to undertake non-teaching tasks such as daily campus safety monitoring. These are usually handled by dedicated security or property staff, so schools should allocate human resources to ensure that campus safety can be done by a professional security team, rather than relying too much on teachers.

Thirdly, in terms of work efficiency and physical and mental health, long-term continuous duty will affect teachers' physical and mental health and family life, which is not conducive to teachers' adequate rest and adjustment during the holidays, thus affecting their teaching quality in the next semester.

Therefore, in the absence of special circumstances (such as emergency epidemic prevention and control needs), primary and secondary schools should not routinely require teachers to be on duty 24 hours a day during the winter vacation. If it is truly necessary to strengthen campus management during the winter vacation, a reasonable duty system should be formulated and corresponding compensation measures should be provided on the premise of complying with laws and regulations and respecting the rights and interests of teachers.

Conclusion: Now you can use technology to assist management, now the school is generally equipped with a monitoring system and other safety management facilities, which can effectively monitor the campus situation, no need for teachers to be on duty around the clock, and teachers must be arranged to be on duty, which is nothing more than to make an example for the people who inspect above, indicating that the school attaches great importance to this work, and this formalism is not advisable.
