This study delves into the nuanced realm of work pressure among travel and tourism trainers in government schools of Delhi, India, with a particular focus on gender disparities. Through a descriptive research design, data was collected from 250 vocational trainers using a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed various dimensions of work pressure, including work overload, long working hours, high professional demands, poor management, lack of control over the work environment, and inadequate staffing levels. Analysis of the data revealed that trainersperceive significant work pressure across multiple dimensions, indicating the demanding nature of their profession. Notably, female trainers reported higher levels of perceived high professional demands and lack of control over the work environment compared to their male counterparts. These findings underscore the challenges faced by female trainers in navigating the complexities of the educational landscape. The study contributes to the discourse on gender disparities in the workforce, particularly within the field of education, and highlights the need for targeted interventions to address gender-specific challenges and promote gender equity in the workplace. By understanding the intricacies of work pressure among travel and tourism trainers, policymakers and educators can work towards creating a more supportive and inclusive work environment conducive to the professional growth and well-being of all trainers.
