As per our understanding, you have concerns about stagnant salaries in the teaching profession. Please tell us about your teaching job: Is it a private school or a government school teaching job?

While it’s difficult to have a single action that you may take to increase your salary as a teacher, you may do this:

Private School:

  • If you’ve been with the school for a while and your performance is good, try negotiating for a salary increase. You can justify your request with evidence of your achievements and contributions. Also, mention that your salary is not enough to manage day-to-day expenses. You can apply within the school for promotions or roles with higher responsibilities that often come with higher salaries.

  • Don’t be afraid to explore other private schools. The private education sector is competitive, and there might be opportunities for better pay elsewhere. Finally, you may gain additional qualifications or specialize in a particular subject can make you a more desirable candidate for higher-paying positions.

If the issue remains unresolved by the school, as a teacher you can lodge an online public grievance with the concerned labour department or commissioner of your region. Additionally, read the labour and employee laws for teachers.

Government School:

  • You can join a teacher’s union and participate in activities that advocate for better pay and working conditions for government employees, including teachers. Read the rules and regulations regarding salary increments for government school teachers in your state. Understand if there are any specific criteria such as pay scale that need to be met.

  • You may also talk to experienced teachers within your school or district about their experiences with salary increments and any advice they might have. Don’t be afraid to know all the options available to you, whether it’s negotiating, seeking new opportunities, or advocating for better pay through your union.

If still not resolved, file a complaint to the Department of Education of your state government through the public grievance portal for government employees.

Still have a question? :thinking: Ask by replying to us.
