A teacher identified as Ba Mbewe from Luanshya coll@psed while teaching a Grade 3 class at a private school. The incident, highlighting the challenges faced by underpaid teachers, has sparked concern.
Ba Mbewe, who earns a meager K750 per month, stru.ggles to make ends meet. Most months, his income only covers rent, leaving him in a perpetual state of hardsh!p. After standing and teaching for two hours, he suddenly coll@psed, fall!ng headfirst to the floor.
Pan!cked cries from his students alerted nearby staff, who rushed to his aid. They carried him outside for fresh air, but he remained unresponsive. Though his heart was still be@ting, his body was l!mp and motionless.
A quick-thinking teacher forced a drink into his mouth, helping to revive him slightly. Realizing he was severely hungry, another teacher fetched a child’s lunchbox and began feeding him. Gradually, Ba Mbewe regained his strength, sat upright, and spoke again, confirming hunger as the cause of his coll@pse.
This alarming incident sheds light on the stru.ggles of teachers in private schools, who often face neglect and inadequate pay despite their critical role in shaping the future.
Will the plight of these teachers ever improve, or will such stories continue to unfold.
