South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by SeanT21(f): 6:51am On Oct 24, 2009 |
Erasmus Alaneme,Abuja — Federal Government has stated that all hope is not lost for Nigerians education sector, disclosing that plans are on the way to send teachers to help out in the South Africa education system. Education Minister, Dr. Sam Egwu who made this known said that contrary to reports that Nigeria is worse off in term of teaching force, the South African educational system was in dire need of teaching personnel particularly at the basic education level. As a result the Minister said there is plan to assist the South African Government in salvaging its educational system by offering to recruit some teaching staff from Nigeria that would be interested in going to the country to teach in due course. Egwu spoke over the weekend while receiving the World Bank's African Regional Director for Education, Christopher Ihoms, who visited him in Abuja to intimate him on the level of performance of the STEP-B project in Nigeria. At the meeting, Egwu said: "Nigeria has been able to develop a new roadmap in education which principally seeks to enable the country reposition its educations structure. "However, it was in that same roadmap that government insisted that issues of award of court or procurement should he completely decentralized to the end users, because the end user knows where the shoe pinches and should be able to be held accountable for observed lapses. "I must disclosed that a lot of African countries depend on us to lead in the education sector, for instance the curriculum we developed, especially in technical and vocation courses attracted many countries in the West African region. "Some of them have actually demanded for copies of our education roadmap and currently. South Africa has also applied through writing asking us that they need teachers from Nigeria, particularly in the areas of science and mathematics, for which advertisements will soon be placed in national dailies to recruit Nigerians who are qualified and interested in going to teach in South Africa to apply." Meanwhile, the world Bank's African Regional Director for Education, Uhomas said in the course of the assessment of the bank's educational programs in the country, which spans through States education project, the STEP-B and the Lagos Eko projects a sense of commitment was generally observed by those mandated to drive the schemes. According to Thomas: "we saw progrmems where teachers tried to use their creativity in bringing p young students in early Childhood Adult education progrmmes, trying to prepare their basic numeric and. http://allafrica.com/stories/200910210423.html |

Another brain-drain saga for nigeria |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by Crescentd(m): 11:31am On Oct 24, 2009 |
I really dont know if our minister should be boasting about this.It is a known fact that SA has got a skill shortage when it comes teaching of science and mathematics and they have been recruiting such skills from other countries to solve this problem. If what the minister said goes through, surely it means Nigeria stands to lose some of its best teachers as SA will not take just anybody. So how is this positive for Nigeria,honourable minister? |

Do we have enough teachers in Nigeria? Are we treating the ones we have fairly? Do they have the right environment and tools? |

Why cant Minister ask the SA to send their children to come and school in Nigeria? In that way, we make money and use that to improve our system!!! What a country! |

Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by eldee(m): 2:48pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
What's with you Nigerians people?? Fine, I personally wouldn't advise anyone to go live in SA, but come on, with the high unemployment rate and increase in the number of graduates per year, getting jobs for our people doesn't seem like a bad idea. What would you rather have?? Teaching the next generation of South Africans to be civilized or topping world unemployment rate charts?? Y'all need to sit down examine stuff before jumping on every decision the government makes. |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by robwho: 3:13pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
Its obvious we have too many mad people in power. How in the world could a sane minister of education even consider the idea of recruiting 9ja teachers to help out the south africans? Is the minister not aware we have an acute shortage of science teachers in our education system? I served in enugu state last year and in my place of primary assingment, they had NO SCIENCE TEACHER! NOT EVEN ONE! We were told that they used to have ONE-and he alone taught ALL the science subjects- ALL! I f you ask any corp member serving in a secondary school(especially in a rural area), he will most likely tell you that science(maths,physics,chemistry,biology,agric) corpers are rarely rejected. It is obvious the minister is out of touch with the reality in Nigeria. |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by Princek12(m): 3:25pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
My inference from the FG story is that despite public criticisms of the Nigerian educational sector, and instead of fixing the heap of problems--i.e., paying teachers, improving infrastructure, among others, the FG is justifying its ineptitude with South Africa's request for teachers to fill its personnel shortage and comparing Nigeria's educational system to the educational system of numerous West African countries that supposedly depend on Nigeria to lead their educational sector as well as demand Nigeria's educational curricula. What kind of reasoning do our officials have? |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by john4sure: 3:54pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
this is good news it simply means we have the manpower necessary to create a world class education system, all we need do now is to provide the infrastructural amenities needed, |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by Tonim(f): 4:02pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
john4sure: hmmm, it could also mean others are trying to take the little that we have going for ourself. Lets face it, nigeria itself has the same problem as South Africa, especially in the Northern part. We need to pay our teachers well so they won't flee at the first lure of money elsewhere. |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by Princek12(m): 4:03pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
john4sure:Does it take South Africa's request for teachers to show that we have the manpower to create a world class educational system? And how will this benefit the country in anyway? If your govt. is sending teachers to SA, who will teach the new generation of kids, especially kids in the villages? |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by semid4lyfe(m): 4:41pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
You guys should get off your high horses o. The world is now a global village and people work anywhere the pay and the standard of living is better. Apart from the xenophobia, S.A ain't a bad place to work. At least e go reduce the unemployment in our own country small. |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by MUZBO(m): 4:49pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
Thanks but no thanks. They just want a reason to be able to round us up and deport us as illegal immigrants in future. It will really help their depleted ego. I'll rather teach Somalis in the school of naval piracy. |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by DisGuy: 5:19pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
So Sam Egwu is now a recruitment agent? is he now responsible for placing adverts for teachers? why is this going through a government dept? |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by mrperfect(m): 5:23pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
Let hope this work out well and positive |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by Princek12(m): 5:24pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
semid4lyfe:Why don't you tell the govt. to send all of our doctors and professionals to Europe, SA, America, and all the other countries where the standard of living is better? If these professionals leave who will raise our own standard of living? it is not like Nigeria has excess teachers. |

Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by matiltomd(f): 5:32pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
Dis Guy: Lol, that's what you call "PP", minister on one hand, recruitment agent by the side, but on a good day, why can't my President apply? Probably after 2011 elections, after all he was once a lecturer! Buncha clowns, You can't give what you don't have, |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by Princek12(m): 5:56pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
puskin:That's the point. The govt. should try to treat the teachers well rather than send them away, and the govt. is using the request from SA as a justification of how good our education system is. So when next the govt. is criticized for being inept at dealing with our educational crisis, the govt. will reply with, well, SA has requested teachers from us so our education system must be good; and most West African countries have demanded our curricula so our education must be good. Ideally, the teachers are free to pursue more lucrative opportunities with the SA govt. or with any other foreign entity, but the government should not mediate this exodus. |
Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by Rebarobyn: 5:59pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
"I must disclosed that a lot of African countries depend on us to lead in the education sector, for instance the curriculum we developed, especially in technical and vocation courses attracted many countries in the West African region what an irony- we have a good curriculum and we have good teachers that are needed all over the world but we have a very terrible educational system, Sam Egwu just judged his tenure as minister and shot himself in the foot. I guess this is a personal decision for the teachers- if they think the pay is worth it and the South Africa govt guarantees their safety, they should give it a thought after all patriotism isn't gonna pay the bills. |

Re: South Africa Request Nigerian Teachers by clomn(m): 8:23pm On Oct 24, 2009 |
EDUCATION MINISTER SAM EGWU SHOULD BE SENT TO GO AND TEACH IGBO IN TOGO. THAT MAN IS A DISGRACE TO NIGERIA, WE ARE TALKING OF EPILEPTIC EDUCATION AND HE IS HAPPY TO SEND TEACHERS OUT OF THE COUNTRY. ONCE A MUMU ALWAYS A MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. |
