55% teachers face salary cuts, 20-50% revenue dip reported by schools amid Covid-19

Schools have reported a significant dip in revenue, which has led to salary cuts for teachers, during the Covid-19 pandemic situation.

As educational institutions have remained closed for more than a year now, the majority of private schools across the country have reported a 20-50 percent decrease in revenue, leading to a reduction in teachers' salaries at some of them, a new report said. The report by the Central Square Foundation (CSF), an NGO working on quality school education in India, is based on a study with over 1,100 respondents (parents, school administrators, and teachers) across 20 states and union territories.
