It is a psychophysical condition which affects an individual's productivity, effectiveness, personal health and quality of work. Teacher stress is a specific type of occupational stress. Teaching profession can be identified as a stressful occupation in this modern challenging world which can adversely affect the health of the teachers which in turn affects the students and the learning environment. In India, the average strength of class is about 60-70 students. This might make teachers feel stress. As they have to cater the needs of each & every child, fulfilling the learning needs of 70 students simultaneously can be a daunting task for a teacher. Objective: In this paper, attempts have been made to study the level of stress among male and female teachers working in government, semi-government and private schools. Methodology: Three government, semi-government and private schools were selected to draw the sample randomly. Approximately 10 school teachers were selected from every school using stratified random sampling, this makes a total of 90 school teachers. Data was collected through Teacher Stress Scale by Dr. Tinku De. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test were done using SPSS version 20.0. Results: Findings revealed that the highest number of male teachers is in average stress level whereas maximum female teachers were under above average level of stress. In comparison to government school teachers; semi government and private school teachers were under more stress. Thus, it can be concluded that male and female teachers working in government, semi government and private schools lies under almost the similar level of stress. To help teachers to manage stress, authorities and policy makers should facilitate supportive and collaborative culture; should provide training for stress and time management, specific training to manage the behaviours of disruptive people; should provide leisure facilities to the faculty and should encourage involvement of faculty in decision-making.
Keywords: Stress, Occupational Stress, School Teacher Stress.

With significant changes in physical growth, sexual maturity, cognitive processes, emotional feelings, and interpersonal relationships, the elementary school year is the troublesome developmental stage. Students may become more easily irritated, perplexed, stressed, and develop a pattern of unpredictable conduct as a result of these changes, which could harm their academic performance as well as their overall mental and physical health. Studies have concluded that stress has a negative impact on academic achievement, motivation, and even contributes to a high proportion of school dropouts. The long-term effects of academic stress will reduce the likelihood of long-term employment and cost the government billions of rupees annually. The review summarises the impact of academic stress on student's physical health, mental health and well-being, sleep, school dropout and academic achievement.
