School Fees In Nigeria: How Expensive Are They?

These schools mainly cater to children of Diplomats, Politicians and the like, hence the reason for the exhorbitant school fees. They are paying for the peace of mind that they can educate their children closer to home.

Given the choice of educating my offsprings between either Nigeria, US or anywhere in UK, I would give the UK a wide berth (unless I can get them into a good catholic school or go private), I would then be left with the option of either remaining in Nigeria, or moving to the US to educate my children and the bottom line is that you have to consider that not everyone is ready to move to another country because of their children's education.

But then having attended one of these so called "private schools" in Nigeria, whose school fees currently stands at 750,000 per term, it was a waste of my time and my parent's money. As the first set, it was expected naturally that we would pass our GCSE and needless to say, I failed. The quality of teaching was horrendous, and I left secondary school knowing less than I did in primary school, and with a passionate hatred of COBOL, FORTRAN or anything to do with computing.
