Srinagar, Apr 23, KNT: The exploitation of private school teachers is continuing unabated in Kashmir valley as most of the schools have not paid salaries to the teaching staff since August 2019. With COVID-19 positive cases emerging every day all over the Valley, the resumption of normal life appears bleak in the near future. And, teacher com- munity employed in private schools has been badly affected. "It was the month of March when we were expecting the salaries to be released but now, given the coronavirus pandemic, we have no hope either. Our struggle has gotten worse, to say the least," Manzoor Dar, a private school teacher from Shopian told KNT. He added, "As we are observing that the administration is taking various KashmirKashmir Observer Observer 44Friday,Friday, 01 01 February, February, 2013 2013 OPINIONOPINION
