Minister for Education, Doctor Mahendra Reddy says teachers are happy now because their salaries have been raised.
Dr Reddy says they have taken two things into account, and that is the fact that teachers salaries were low before and that it was not aligned with their qualification.
The Minister says the Ministry has not received any complaints of teachers being paid less than what they should be.
He says there were Early Childhood teachers with certificates, who were paid more than Diploma and Degree holders but they have fixed it.
Meanwhile Doctor Reddy says construction of new classrooms is ongoing throughout the country and until it is complete, students will still have to study in tents.
