| description | Much of the research on COVID-19 is gleaned on epidemiological, virological, and medical outcomes
of the global pandemic. In education, research focus is skewed towards how school closure affected the
psychological disposition of learners, ignoring debate on COVID-19 effects on teachers’ social and economic
wellbeing. Mandatory school closure influenced private school owners to halt teachers’ payment
on the pretext that schools had no revenue. In sociological and motivational theory, such a lag in earning
is certainly linked to potential decline in the teacher’s social and economic wellbeing and henceforth
a huge demotivator for this group. Critical analysis of private school teachers’ social and economic
wellbeing during COVID-19 and the coping mechanisms are, therefore, the subject of this chapter. |
