Madurai:

While teachers in private schools have been struggling to get their salaries as schools remain shut due to Covid-19, for teachers who teach co-curricular subjects like music, dance, karate, arts and crafts etc., their livelihood has been lost for the past year. Across Tamil Nadu, more than 50,000 co-curricular special teachers, including a large section of women teachers, are employed in private schools. Since the Covid-19 lockdown was imposed in March last year, several special teachers were either asked to quit or told they won’t be paid till schools reopen. TNN
