Teachers should get more salary than IAS: Sisodia

"Today, there is a lot of talk about India of 2047. The teachers who are sitting here today, the children you have with you are very important for 2047. The India of 2047 depends on these children. But even policy makers have to do something for them," Sisodia said while addressing a 'Shikshak Samman Samaroh,' organised by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi at the agency headquarters.

"In most developed countries, the salary of teachers is more than the bureaucrats there. A teacher with five years of experience draws more salary than an IAS officer with five years of posting," he added, citing examples of Germany, Switzerland and a few other countries.
