💎 Compensation Philosophy
Teacher compensation is performance-based, fair, and transparent, linked directly to active student enrollment and regular teaching delivery. This model ensures teachers earn competitive income while incentivizing quality teaching, student retention, and program effectiveness. Tiered rates reflect the increasing complexity and effort required for higher grades.

Higher secondary and remedial teaching with exam preparation 🎯
📊 Compensation Calculation & Payment Process
- Active Student Definition: A student who attends at least 80% of scheduled sessions in a given month qualifies as “active” for compensation purposes
- Monthly Assessment: Attendance tracked daily; monthly calculations determine number of active students per teacher per grade level
- Tiered Earnings: Teachers teaching multiple grade levels earn according to respective rates (e.g., 5 students in Grades 1-3 + 3 in Grades 4-5 = ₹150×5 + ₹250×3 = ₹1,500/month)
- Payment Schedule: Monthly payments processed by the 5th of following month via bank transfer, ensuring transparency and reliability
- Performance Bonuses: Additional incentives for exceptional student progress, 100% attendance, parent satisfaction, and innovative teaching practices
- Earning Potential: With 15-20 active students across grades, teachers can earn ₹3,000-₹6,000+ per month with flexible working hours
💪 Economic Empowerment
The compensation model creates dignified livelihood opportunities for women with flexible hours that accommodate household responsibilities. Teachers gain financial independence, professional identity, and community respect while contributing to children’s education.
