Imphal, April 01 2015 : The monthly remuneration they receive is as different as the quality of students they produce each year.

While Government school teachers continue to draw a handsome salary, in the range of Rs 30,000 per month, their counter parts in the private schools get a measly amount of Rs 8,000 or so per month.

However the products they churn out every year are as different as chalk and cheese, an example that comes with force every year when the results of the HSLC and HSSLC exams are announced.

Speaking to The Sangai Express, a Government school teacher said that though the number of students passing the HSLC and HSSLC exams may have seen an appreciable increase down the years, the same cannot be said about the quality of education imparted to them.

A Social Science teacher in a Government high school located in Imphal East, on anonymity, stated that the number of students admitted in the school for the last three years has increased.

But the number of students who pass the HSLC exam from the school is negligible.

“There are about ten teachers in the school to teach 70 to 80 students.

This works out to about two classes per day.

Top up the light work load with the pay, which is more than Rs 30,000 per month and I feel like as if I am taking my salary for free,” he said frankly.
