As schools have been asked to exempt students from paying fee, teachers are worried about their salaries. When the Education Minister called upon parents to submit their questions to be addressed in a webinar, several teachers took to Twitter and directed their salary woes at the minister.

Teachers have asked if the school fee is waived, how a school would pay the staff's salary.

"How would the school pay its staff when there is no source of income," wrote on user on Twitter.

The situation, some pointed out, is worse for those who live alone or are not hired on a permanent basis.

Some teachers also emphasized that since the lockdown, they have been working harder than before to make sure students do not lose their academic year. They have had to learn the modalities of teaching online and are working tirelessly. If schools won't charge fees, how will they pay their staff, asked a teacher on Twitter.

"Parents have to cooperate as teachers are also working harder than ever in this lockdown. So they should get their remuneration," wrote one teacher

Private schools have been asked by Ministry of HRD and respective state governments to not charge school fee during the lockdown period.

States have all come up with some variation of the order. UP government asked schools not to charge advance fee and transportation fee from students for the lockdown period. Delhi government had also directed schools in the NCR to not demand three months' advance fee form students. A similar order came from the Tamil Nadu CM Office, warning of action against schools which charged fee from students in violation of its orders.

Schools across the nation have also been asked not to cancel a student's enrolment if they are unable to pay school fee during the lockdown period.

With entire or partial fee waived, teachers are worried about how a school administration will manage to pay their salaries and hence have directed their queries to the Minister.
