How it works
For schools
- Post the cover need. Choose the reason (maternity, sudden replacement, medical, long leave), the subject, the class, how long, and when to join.
- Available teachers are alerted at once. Only those who have switched on "Available for cover" nearby, so you hear back in hours, not weeks.
- Shortlist, demo class, interview. Same simple steps as a regular job. A demo class can be at school or online.
- The class continues. Mark your choice as selected. Tick "may become permanent" if you'd like to keep her.
For teachers and qualified parents
- Sign up in two minutes. Quick Cover Sign-up asks only what a school needs. Already a member? Just switch on "Available for cover".
- Get alerts for cover near you. On your dashboard and by email, the moment a school posts.
- Apply in one tap. Your résumé goes with it. Fix a demo class slot if the school asks.
- Step into the classroom. Many cover posts lead to permanent offers.
Quick Cover Sign-up
Two minutes, six short parts, no documents. Teachers, retired teachers, freshers and parents with a teaching background all join here.
Schools posting cover near you will see you from today.
What happens next
- A school posts cover near you: you get an alert by email (WhatsApp later).
- Apply in one tap. Your "About my teaching" lines go with it.
- If shortlisted, pick a demo class slot, then the interview.
- Busy for a while? Switch off "Available for cover" on your dashboard anytime.

Parents: your education still counts
Many well-educated mothers and fathers move to a new city for family reasons, and their degrees go unused. A short cover post is a gentle way back into teaching.
- Join through Quick Cover Sign-up. If you already use XSchools.in as a parent, sign up with the same mobile number and the two are linked.
- Enter your degree, B.Ed or D.El.Ed if you have one, and a few lines about any teaching you've done.
- Switch on "Available for cover" and choose how many months suit your family.
- Schools see you as a teacher. Your children's details are never shown or linked.
Service providers: supply cover teachers
Teacher-placement agencies, B.Ed colleges and training institutes can offer cover teachers as a service to schools.
- A new category in the provider portal: Cover teacher supply.
- Schools find you in the marketplace and send a request, the same way as other services.
- You deal only with schools. As with every provider, you can't see or contact teachers or parents on XSchools.in.
For every cover hire: schools verify candidates according to their own policy, exactly as for regular jobs. XSchools.in collects no member documents.
