PRIVATE SCHOOLS; SALARY EXPLOITATION OF TEACHERS
Before pondering through the article, let's peep out at a difference in school, earning and teacher salary. A 10marla house based school with a total of just 200 students charging Rs 5000/child earns 10, 00,000 or 10 l akhs onth and this amount can easily be manipulated with higher fees and with a number of students whereas the salaries of teachers remain fixed at a point.
Private education is a fast-growing business in Pakistan with the promise of anomalous profit and minimal check and balance.
Now the question arises where this profit does make its way while the owner of any school or educational institute is paying enormous building rent, mounted electricity bills and necessary furnishing and equipment. The answer has not any ambiguity that the owner cut down the wages of its staff to as low as possible to continue his profit. If a school hires 10 teachers than a peanut share from school profit goes to the teachers.

Secondly, salary exploitation in private schools is the time of salary day. As in Pakistan, salaries are given by the first of every month, following the necessary utility bills and other chores of the house. In private schools, salaries are never paid by the first of the month. Most private schools fix 10th of every month for paying the staff after collecting the fees from the wards. There is no mechanism where the teacher could be paid at the first of the month from the previous month’s fee collection. The teacher who can be only earners of the house has to suffer a lot when their doorbell rings for demanding bills which need to be paid by the first week of the month. There should be a rule from the state where private school teachers should be paid by the start of the month too.
As private school and college business are growing so as the number of affected… teachers are mounting. Teachers are not getting paid for the vacations which fall in an academic year i.e. Summer and winter vacations and gross fee profit gathered in the owner's pockets. Few schools bestow the teachers with vacation salary after completion of their one year at school, but even then salaries are not given in vacations but are given in installments in working months after vacations. For example, a total of Rs 20,000 of vacation pay will be dragged to next 7-10 months dividing into portions with regular pay. Here the schools claim to have their safe side that teachers may flee from the job after grabbing the vacation’s pay and it’ll damage their administration. Anyone can feel the pain and stress of a person who has to suffer for more than two months without any penny.
We observe teachers cry for money amid vacations. For you the so-called owners of private schools, an employee who already has given you one full year of work, he/she should not be let in the way on an assumption, as stomach can’t drag its need nor the house owner or billing companies.
