Teachers had been delivering online lectures using their own resources because schools were closed due to the Coronavirus-induced lockdown. As a result, APSA couldn’t provide teachers the facilities needed to conduct online classes from their homes.
Moreover, APSA ensured that all schools should pay salaries to teachers and other employees regardless of the Coronavirus situation. However, some schools were forced to lay off staff employed on a contract basis due to the economic crisis triggered by the lockdown.
