Tuition teachers earn Rs. 210 billion (Rs 21 000 Crores ) annually, said Professor Wasantha Athukorala, Director of the Postgraduate Department of Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Peradeniya, to Silumina.
These calculations have been revealed according to a recent survey, and this does not include the charging of individual or small group classes conducted in urban areas, the Professor points out.
It has been revealed that tutoring teachers earn an income of
- Rs. 3,500 Crores from scholarship students from Grade 3 to Grade 5
- Rs. 9,400 Crores from GCE Ordinary Level students and
- Rs 8,000 Crores from Advanced Level students.
Pointing out that some of these tutoring classes begin at 12:00 midnight, the professor said that this is also detrimental to the mental and physical health of the children.
He added that the huge amount of money earned in this way is not subject to any tax system.
