The parents alleged that in the primary section, the minimum salary of a teacher is Rs 27,000 while in the postgraduate scale, it is around Rs 45,000. They suggested that the errant teachers should be removed and replaced by many able youths, who could coach their wards in much better ways.

“Time has come when the state government should ask them to return their salaries for not attending schools. Same logic applies to the state government employees who did not attend office, but got full salaries.
