Low wage in private school

      A report in a daily newspaper about the teacher of private getting low wage has caught my attention it is easily understandable that due to poor remuneration the quality of education is being hampered in those schools In this  connection I remember one incident .one of my acquaintences got a teaching job in a reputed school .I congratulated him but his response was lukewarm. When I asked him why he did not look happy, he told me his salary. I was surprised ; I couldn't belive it. Later he told me that once started private tuition side by side his school job he would be earning a respectable amount. What I realised that day is that in the name of employment, the private schools are exploiting teachers. A few days back I want I heard a guardian complaining about frequent changes of teachers. Another guardian quipped that how would a teacher stay long since the authorities were paying very meagre salary.
    I know that school takes exorbitant fees but pays the teachers very poor salary. In the end the students suffer due to frequent changes of teachers. Due to the poor salary structure teachers are not paying full attention to classrooms and more interested in teaching outside the class . It is high time to look into the matter and stop the anomaly in the private education sector.
