Esi for teachers

I am a teacher working in a private unaided school. Now-a-days I am hearing the ESI is compulsory for the teachers also. As I am in need of some medical assistance, I have enquired with the management. But they say the ESI applies to labours and as per rule the teachers are not labours. And also says that there is a stay on introducing ESI at educational institutions. Is there any stay regarding. Kind guidelines solicited.
