The purpose of the study is to provide an overview the importance of work life balance for school teachers during COVID-19. Work-life balance entails establishing appropriate priorities between work (career and ambition) and life (happiness, leisure, family, and spiritual development). Variables like family satisfaction, job satisfaction, job stress, institutional commitment, role ambiguity have an impact on the work life balance of school teachers. A sample of 120 was selected, of which 60 were public-school teachers and 60 were private school teachers from Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, were selected purposively for the present study. A well framed schedule was used to collect the data from the respondents through personal interviews. The study revealed that public teachers had greater job satisfaction, family satisfaction, and institutional commitment with less role ambiguity and job stress. Private teachers had greater job stress, job satisfaction with less family satisfaction and institutional role ambiguity, which indicates that public teachers had a greater work-life balance when compared to private teachers
