I think we are all in agreement that teachers need to be paid well.
We even had a point that the government will take care of their salaries
though they won't be considered government employees. I don't know if
this point was accepted.
It is a well known fact that even prestigious private schools hire temporary

hands, make them sign a voucher for Rs.2500 and pay Rs.600.

Sure it means more oppurtunities for corruption but it works in TN.
I know that there is corruption there too but it still works. You should go
there to see for yourself. TN has produced results. I am also aware that
other states tried it out and the money ended up as wasteful expenditure.
