We honestly believe that no salary can truly compensate for the value that an early years educator adds to young children they impact. The remuneration also varies greatly between institutes and schools and individual capabilities of teachers also determine the salary. Having said that, it is true that preschool and high school teachers in Kolkata are typically paid lower than most metro cities in the country. An IIMTT graduate is at the top of the class in remunerations though and can typically expect to earn between Rs 1-3 lacs per annum.
