I am a private biology teacher experiencing first-hand the struggles of insufficient salary. The current remuneration I receive doesn't even leave me enough to cover basic needs like fuel for my motorcycle. Like many other educators in my position, I am forced to squeeze my budget excessively just to provide for my everyday expenses. However, teachers play an essential role in shaping young minds and thus, the future of our society. Investing in teachers is investing in education, and by extension, our nation's future. According to the National Education Association, fair pay for educators is an urgent issue, with many teachers receiving salaries that fail to keep up with inflation. By increasing the salaries of private teachers, we not only acknowledge their crucial role but also maintain their overall wellbeing. This change is needed to create a more equitable foundation for education to flourish. Please join our effort and sign this petition to raise salaries for private teachers.
