Teachers of private schools might be the worst affected professionals from COVID-19 in Nepal. They have been jobless for months as the schools shut in April have not yet come into operation. When almost all other sectors have gradually returned to normalcy with the relaxation of restrictions, schools are not allowed to open in big cities like Kathmandu and Lalitpur. Although, local levels in the two districts have allowed schools to resume classes in physical presence, the district administration offices have issued notices stating that schools should not operate classes in physical presence of teachers and students.
For the past two years, after the COVID-19 hit the nation, many teachers of the private schools lost their job many were kept in hold in a condition that they would be hired again to work after the situation returned to normalcy. Those who are continuing their jobs are getting only half of their monthly pay.
