Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on teachers’ psychological well-being levels and their readiness to handle mental health issues among students. Through these findings, the causative factors of psychological well-being disorders and affected groups can be identified which in turn, can be overcome through appropriate interventions. This study uses an online survey from January 20 to February 13, 2021. To see the level of teachers’ psychological well-being, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) instrument was used. A total of 80 teachers (13 males and 67 females) completed this questionnaire.
