I started teaching 6 to 7 years ago at a nepali affiliated college and later went to non nepali affiliated colleges. Nepali affiliated college paid my salary 6 months after I finished teaching there. Then I taught at non nepali affiliated institute, they used to pay salary on time. Started working at another non nepali affiliated college and it has been very difficult to get my salary on time. I wanted to know, is this common for nepali affiliated and/or non nepali affiliated colleges? Also, do the management know that if their staffs aren’t paid well or aren’t happy, the quality of education provuded degrades drastically? Also given that Nepal has a small market, word spreads very fast. Does the college management know about this?

Depends what it is you’re teaching. I don’t know much about the Nepali education system, but The British School in Kathmandu pays pretty well (source: I worked there). It doesn’t pay a massive salary by international standards, but by Nepali standards it does. They recruit Nepali and overseas staff.
I heard my teacher earned 75k a month (He was teaching us at first level) and above first level I heard they earn more than 1 lakh
I’ve taught in 3 different colleges, never had payment issues. Every college paid on time, but to be fair, they are very well-known colleges. I’ve heard of dreadful delays in payments in other colleges.
I think there are many colleges that aren’t able to pay on time because they have less students and cannot recoup the money on time. Best to set expectations before you start working next time. That’s what I do. Even if you know the answers, ask the HR/coordinator or whoever you deal with about when the salary is deposited (English/Nepali month) or how much taxes do you need to pay. This will leave an impression that you are serious when it comes to money.
​
Management is well aware about their staff being underpaid and being unhappy and how that affects the quality of education provided. My personal observation is either the college is there to make money, so they don’t really care much because if you don’t teach at the amount they’re offering, someone else will teach that subject for you. So the odds aren’t in our favor most of the time.
​
Words spread fast, but like I said, if you don’t teach, someone else will. And if the college doesn’t care about the quality of education being provided, it’s easier to replace you with someone with the credentials.
Most of the private CSIT, IT, Engg colleges pay salary more or less on time. There are always exceptions though. Most of these colleges do course contract and it may come out to be around 70k on average per subject. If you are a fresher you may get around 50-55k though. I donot have problem of not getting paid or getting paid very very late. I highly encourage anyone to do contract on paper not just verbal, in case you may have to claim your salary.
Comparatively college faculties are well paid but not junior school staffs.
