The school teachers in Maldives are on indefinite strike from today. Teaching is fully effected. Teachers are demanding higher salary. Its really true that the teachers are not paid well here.
Its really true that the salary scale for the teachers are very low but they have the option of taking private tutions. If a teacher needs to save some money, then he / she needs to take private classes or tutions after the working hours. To get a teachers job in Maldives, now a days the recruitment is done through some recruiting agencies and they collect about US$ 500 for this service.
