WHAT is THE DEFINITION OF pre-school an educational institute in legal sense?
pre-school / montessori(KIDZEE/EUROKIDS/KANGAROO KIDS) is a place where child learns by discovery and does not have teachers but guides.
does this come under ambit of educational institute and hence ESIC.
most of the guides are ladies from good families devoting 4-5 hours of their time at pre-school as a part of their commitment in doing social service for a meager honorarium or travelling reimbursement.
they are not drawing salary or wages, they are not employed in real sense.
is it covered in ESIC
