Primary teachers in any country across the world are not paid such an enormous amount for their work.
In India, the basic pay of primary teachers, who have cleared the Central Teacher Eligibility Test is between Rs 9300-35,400.
Teaching remains an underpaid profession in India, with educators facing challenging conditions in both private and government schools. A stark contrast emerges when comparing the remuneration of teachers in India with those in other countries, notably Luxembourg, where primary teachers receive a substantial salary. According to a report from the World of Statistics, a Luxembourg teacher with 15 years of experience earns an annual salary of US$104,846, equivalent to Rs 87,14,060 in Indian currency. This staggering figure highlights the vast disparity between the compensation of primary teachers in India and Luxembourg.
