This research is motivated by the differences in welfare between public and private teachers, which can impact work motivation and the quality of learning in schools. Teacher welfare is not only related to income but also encompasses benefits, social security, the work environment, and professional development opportunities. This study aims to analyze the welfare of public and private teachers in Riau, determine the role of educational management in teacher welfare, and analyze the differences in welfare between public and private teachers. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews and literature review. The research informants consisted of public and private school teachers in Riau. The results show that public teachers tend to have more stable welfare because they receive a fixed salary, professional allowance, and social security from the government. Meanwhile, the welfare of private teachers is strongly influenced by the policies of the foundation or institution that oversees the school. Educational management plays a crucial role in supporting teacher welfare through school management, providing professional support, a comfortable work environment, and opportunities for teacher competency development. The differences in welfare between public and private teachers are evident in aspects of income, benefits, work facilities, and teacher employment status.
