Board of Secondary Education Orissa’s Ad in Samaja for contract teachers
The salaries offered in this ad are very low. One may jump to the conclusion that that is primarily responsible for the bad status of teaching at government schools. Thats not 100% true though. Many private schools with supposedly better teaching also offer similar salaries. However, when one applies to a private school one applies to a particular school. So often educated women may agree to be a teacher in a nearby private school at low salaries. In case of BSE it is probably different as the particular school where one is appointed is probably decided by BSE. Thus a well educated, financially secure and teaching minded woman may go to a nearby private school at a low salary but she would rarely take chances with BSE. So BSE, if it is not doing that already, should recruit on a school by school basis and offer higher salaries for schools where fewer people prefer to go.
