May God help us

Amen. U are so right.

No one love Education like I do now.
Will be a graduate of Economics Education frm Unijos dis year.
Educational courses are the best!
I love teaching

BiHung:
its a lie

I so second that. I taught in one of the schools mentioned by the op and they pay peanuts and treat their staff like they are nonentities. Their quality of education can hardly be measured with the ridiculous fees because they make the children king over the teachers and parents to dictate level of discipline with their money. I loooove teaching. It gives me joy when the students go - oh.....okay....I understandit now. It is very rewarding, but hardly in monetary terms. I'm saying this so you don't get disappointed when you face contrary situations from what the op has published. Still, very few schools pay as well as what the op says and give WONDERFUL benefits.

Na teaching sure pass.

I'v been working with this private school in Lagos, as a classroom teacher. The most interestin part is that i am just a school cert. holder. In less than a year there, i've learnt so much and i've influenced my kids in so many ways (positively).

My pay is way below 20k, but thank God for the after-school lessons. I'm happy my pupils are learning fast and steadily from me, and it gives me joy that they understand my lessons easily. I teach basic 5. Every kid in RPS loves Mr. John.

How can teaching be boring when i have the likes of Aligbe, Seun, Precious, Akunne in my class If the passion is there, u will view teachin from a different angle.

I pledge to be a teacher in future, n thats why i'v decided to go back to school and get myself a decent cert.


Make una late my Englishi over 10, cus i wan improvement oo.

Zico5:

Check very well mr man. Omu-aran is not offa. Even see how u pronounce Adesoye and omu-aran

Oga Zico, Adesoye college is on the outskirts of offa.
I was invited for their test 2 years ago, but I couldn't attend because of the communal clash between offa and Erin.

yaskarahyelhope:


Aw can U be cut out with teaching? Its ya type that will act like that film titled "BAD TEACHER". And its ya type that will see teaching as WETIN I GO DO AS I NO SEE JOB. Ur type will ruin d destinies of children and ask dem to pay some substantial amt of money to get high grade. May God punish those kind of teachers as He will hold dem responsible for diminishing d IQs of such children even to university level. Teaching boring as hell, and U were tot. Ramsense!

MUMU HAVE YOU HEARD THE SAYING THAT YOU SHOULD FOLLOW YOUR PASSION? OR YOU SEE ME AS ONE WHO GO AFTER MONEY AND NOT PASSION... MY FRIEND! NA GOD GO PUNISH YOUR MAMA AND PAPA TOGETHER WITH ALL YOUR GENERATION... BIG FOOL DAN BANZAR AKUYA KAWAI.... COMMON SENSE IS NOT COMMON AT ALL AS IT IS EVIDENT IN YOU, HUNGRYsickbitch.... YOURTYPE NORMALLY END UP IN THE 'I HATE MY JOB SCENARIO' BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT READY TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS AND PASSION ... OR YOU DONT HAVE ONE.... AKAMU BRAIN

New Horizons College, Minna. Start up pay for teachers is upto 50k. In about a year...it climbs to 70k. That is in addition to other benefits.

crazygod:

OMG! On the contrary, teaching is fun. Besides, u can make loads of money by being a part time tutor in schools. Imagine working for 5 schools.and I've being paid 20k per month and u jst teach 2 times in a week in each school. Dude, the summary of it is that you will be making 100k in a month and still.have time for your personal biz.

ITS TRUE SHA! BUT NOT MY PASSION.... I TRIED IT ONCE IN A FRIENDS SCHOOL AND I WAS DOZING OFF

Zico5:
I was fortunate to visit Adesoye international school, Omu-aran. I moved around and was amazed with the materials and structure built in the area. The only thing that surprised me was the take home of some university graduates which is not up to 50k then. I wonder how such organization where students re paying nothing less than 500k per session could not pay up to 100k. The reality is that to get school that will pay up to the amount op stated above will be difficult cos the competition will be too stiff. Also, introduction of contract staff to Nigeria workforce has destroyed the marketability of our graduates and government has paid a deaf hear to the issue. May God help us, teaching is one of the best job before but things re not the same again and
we need the intervention of government to make it right

adesoye college in omu-aran ?

[quote author=akubudejud post=31259920][/quote]

wat course did u study?

Are these things the OP posted here for real? If I hear?


Where's the passion for teaching where u'r not allowed to use a cane at least minimally on erratic students? Big school, big problem.


I used to think big schools make teaching interesting until I got a job at a big school in surulere last year (Name witheld). Forget it, my students are more like spoilt brat. Funny enough, the school places a higher priority on social events than academic activities. Praying for a lucrative job, will leave this advanced baby-sitting profession called 'Teaching'

Those that read the whole write up should help me out here cos the note was a bit lengthy for someone like me that hasn't eaten since morning to read... Thanks

If you have the passion trust me teaching can be so so fun especially when after hours of head scratching they finally get it oh dear its a heavenly feeling....the problem will always be the pay that's why I'm going all the way thank God I'm an educationist which gives me an added advantage...def go for my PGD then Masters and keep climbing till the highest possible height....Lecturer abi Lecturing assistants earn quite high nowadays so im def motivated especially cus its a passion of mine but as for sec school its OYO...went for an interview in an Indian owned school at Onitsha GRA and after all the forming the ladies there did and passing the exam which no be here at all they said my start up pay will be 10k i just told them I wanted to go take passport and disappeared ta God punish poverty

My greatest dream is becoming a teacher,

Bloombreed, Port Harcourt Pays 100-350k Hello Is it the Bloombreed I know or another??

It's so disheartening that pupils in these schools pay exorbitant fees but yet, their teachers (qualified ones of course) gets peanuts @ month end, and the most annoying are those they even owe..

Discipline in these schools are not even allowed or very minimal, and kids turn to tyrants..

God help private school owners

Lmao.

I swear by the name of God, this guy is telling the truth. I am a testimony. I studied pure Chemistry, but today am a teacher. I started small like he said. My first salary in one mushroom school was 25k and I taught 5 subjects. I endured just to gather experience. I left after like a year to another one that offered me just 20k cos the stress was lesser. I even got married on this salary and my friends were like, how are u managing? I became a dad after just 10months. I left after a month to another one with a lesser stress. The funniest thing was that I was paid 25k from which I will transport myself with 10k every month. But today, am in Lekki enjoying good pay in a better, bigger and more powerful school. They wouldn't av given me such opportunity if I had no teaching experience, no WAY.am not there yet. So I'll say, rather than waiting for a big job other than teaching which might not come for years, y not take up a teaching job. Just start from somewhere and b4 u know it u are there.

WIZGUY69:
I earn #3.5m per annum as a teacher.

yea it is possible. Is it government or private?

naijainfogalery:
I pray its true. Cos last 2 months i saw one of my secondary school teacher and i almost cried. i cant believe a teacher can be living in that much abject poverty.

My plan is i will go to my sch every year and give back to the teachers who are hardworking, though some of them dont deserve it but men, they are all part of who we are today, lets all make this a yearly thing, give back to the people that taught us and made us who we are today

lol bros u self as u talk am I know e funny u give back 2 them yearly.u still living close 2 ur tracher?

after all the money they paid still you want to discipline them. you dare not. xcept you want to lose your students to another school or lose your job!

my brother the kinda cars parked outside the school sef will give you an idea as to their school fees then you want to do start up pay 10k had to run o

romzyxy:

And why shouldn't they be disciplined ? Is it always about the money or the grooming of the kid(s) into better and responsible people in future??

As a well experienced teacher, you ought to know the right measures/approach in disciplining a child, as regards his/her offence.. Discipline doesn't necessarily have to be 'hitting with a cane'..

just a lill while...
