Another rift is on the cards between CBSE schools and state with Kerala CBSE School Management Asso-ciation (KCSMA) openly rejecting the state demand to pay the faculty at par with that of government schools. KCSMA has even demanded that the CBSE board come out with a ‘separate minimum salary structure’.

The salary for government school staff is being paid by the government directly without any relation to the fees collected and the total income of the school.

The required funds are met from the state exchequer. But unaided CBSE schools have to depend only on the single permanent source of income of the school, that is, the fees from students, for disbursement of salary and other allowances, said T.P.M. Ibrahim Khan, KCSMA president.

“The government salary structure is moving with jet speed due to frequent increase in the pay, DA and the like, whereas the incre-ase in fee structure cannot be effected to match the inc-rease in government salary due to resistance from parents.

So the demand to pay government school salary to staff of unaided CBSE schools cannot be treated as extension of natural justice and fair play,” he said.

He said KCSMA would write to CBSE board to form an ‘All-India Separate Minimum Salary structure’ for staff which has the scale of pay that would be separate for urban and rural areas.
