Of all the injustices teachers face, this one c.uts the deepest…
Every year, when August comes, many schools hold back salaries.
Their excuse? “Teachers don’t work in August.”
But did you ever ask who writes the lesson plans during the holidays?
Who spends sleepless nights preparing notes that make your school proud?
Who silently thinks through how to help that slow learner catch up next term?
Who sacrifices their peace just to ensure your school stays afloat?
Teachers don’t get official leave like bankers or civil servants.
Their only “rest” is the school holiday—yet even that is full of work.
Some school owners still use them for August lessons…
But instead of salary, they give them crumbs from what was earned.
No recognition. No dignity. No respect. Just cold dismissal.
Have you ever seen a teacher during the holidays?
They’re not on vacation. They’re marking scripts.
They’re writing lesson notes.
They’re updating records.
They’re praying for that one child who always fails to finally pass.
They’re building the school in silence—mind, soul, and body.
Teachers are counsellors, second parents, guardians, mentors, nurses, motivators.
Their work is beyond the classroom—it is life-giving.
If you’re a school proprietor and you still deny your teachers August salary,
Let your conscience wake up today. Let it weep.
You want them to teach, but leave them to starve?
You cu.t their pay as though their worth is half?
Even angels would marvel—how can this be what they deserve?

Just be yourself in all that you do..
