But you never withdraw them from the school


See that mumu post wey I bin dey tell you

Bros, you don old pass this childish stunt nau. Shey you no wan mature ni?

Nigerians are funny people. It's the same thing the people that made it enough to afford sending their kids abroad do also...
Nigeria education is no longer 'good enough' for their "special" wards!

Oshisco!

The fault is with we the parents, we killed our government school system and now the private schools are here to rob us of our hard earned cash. Ask urself this simple question..... did u attend a private school to become who u are today? Have u not seen kids who attend a regular government school and are still very bright academically, even more brighter than those that attend the so called private schools. I think we all need to wake up and go back to the old ways! Same curriculum, same books, same subjects..... the only difference is the building and environment and most private schools are not up to standard of what a private schools should be in actual sense. Meanwhile I have noticed that most of us parents do send our kids to private school just to show off and to feel belonged. Too bad

How is this fraud?

I will create a new thread for this you false narrative

ENGINEERG:
I don't know why this fraud and corruption start from in our private Nursery, primary and secondary schools, but I think its universal fraud in Nigeria now.

That you must buy all the Textbooks for a particular class your child is going.
Even when elder siblings have bought those books and he is not using it again, the younger one who need same book now, must buy new ones from the same school.

The economy of this country is so bad and a lot of families find it so hard to pay school fees, but I think owners of schools too always want to make more money on books and wears aside tuition fee so it makes all these school fee to be neck breaking.

So they insist on new books for your wards. And the price they sell it , is more than the actual price. Just to make more money.
They always make huge money from sales of uniform, Wednesday wears, Friday wears, ties, socks, Cardigan.

But on Textbooks that can take decades to damage, why can't younger ones use the one their elder ones have used?

PLS CAN THIS FRAUD STOP?

BrutusOj:
Majority of teachers in private schools both secondary and tertiary are products of government owned schools, I mean they went to L.G.E.A primary, community secondary school, Government secondary school, Federal college and public universities. Kindly find a public school for your child and be free from the scam. It's same curriculum both private and public use, it may amaze you to know that the real teaching happens in public schools not private schools packaging building and uniforms to deceive you people.

Lies!

What a basic 1 private pupil can do, a basic 5 public school pupil cannot attempt it. Na beans?
Their scheme of work are far apart. Don't compare them abeg.
Im a private school teacher so I know what I'm saying.

I still can believe why government is not saying anything about the many illegality being perpetuated by this private schools in the country....they are the ones who killed the education system in the country.

First it was pupil writing common entrance examination from primary 5 even now some attempt in primary 4.....you will see a 9 years old child in secondary, where are parents pushing and rushing this kids to?
This ones are the ones That will enter the university unprepared at age 14, 15 or even 16...whereas the university is a citedal of learning for adults..I remember an adult can be describe as one who has attain the age of 18years...

This ones will be lured easily into prostitution and bullied into cultism. No wonder the Lagos state government recently place a ban on this and said all schools must do primary 6 and any child going to secondary school must be atleast 12 years old.


You will buy different set of school uniforms, socks, canvass, shoes, cardigans, and test books are compulsory!
Funny enough, no one in private school fails or repeats that same class even when the child is not academically ok.

God help this country!

OldNairalander:


21st century education is learner centred bro.
The teacher doesn't teach. He guides the learners to explore their environment and develop critical thinking.
Which environment will the learner explore in a school with dilapidated infrastructure?
Chalk and black board teaching style is why Nigerian graduates are unemployable.

same goes to private schools as well, at any slight opportunity, they converted uncompleted building to private school that is highly distateful

olaniyilukman:
bro, drop this, almost all private schools engage in examination malpractice so what exactly are you trying say here...

What I am trying to say is ALMOST ALL but NOT ALL.

Very simple.

That's the trend. And in many ways it's been normalised; accepted as the norm and perceived less as being a means of extortion.

It is high level corruption! In fact the corruption is a networked type. The text books are designed in such a way that nobody else can make use of them after being used by another. It is criminal! Schools mandate parents to buy excersise books from them and most times they are substandard, yet more expensive than what's obtained outside. It is high time those in charge of education look into this ever growing corruption in schools particularly private schools.

Indeed, enough is enough!

olaniyilukman:

Private school get level.
I don't approve of the batcher and uncompleted building type.
But is it not govt. that gave them operating license?

You are right.
In Nigeria, there's over proliferation of private schools. Most don't even have the student numbers to make them profitable.
Shuke shuke schools everywhere.
We need cerebral leaders in this country. It might even be too late

Halo22:
I understand the plight of most parents even in the current economic situation. As a school manager, I must tell you that most private schools struggle to make up with the payment of their staff salary and in the process, indulge in various money-making ventures to pay off the 4months salary in a term. Though in my school, it's not compulsory to buy the books from the school. You are free to buy from the market, but it must be within the scope of the recommendation by ministry of education.

Every sector of the economy is vorrip. Why single out private school?

Port your child.

omonla10:
I've always said it. The problem is not buhari but we, fellow Nigerians.. My siblings used most of my textbooks but I had to buy same book for my kids over and over again cos they now answer questions inside them. Government never cares about us never

Obviously, the education boards would have been bribed by d publishers.. Na naija way be Dat o.

Very very annoying practice. A child will be forced to scribble answers into spaces that aren't enough. All these practices so that the younger ones don't reuse the textbooks. No wonder the handwriting of kids these days is nothing to write home about.

Be realistic here! Public schools of nowadays are just terrible especially here in Lagos.Both lots of strike and unwillingness from the teachers are just part of d numerous problems.A briiant child will execl in private school.Public schools now isn't d same as of old.Its now a den of misendeavours.

Op, u should go to the market urself and buy the books.

No one can for e me to buy when the siblings have the same text,i will put my feet down and say NO in capital letters,if proprietor talk too much i will take my ward elsewhere.

Very soon, classroom schools will be no more.

Online learning will take over.

Babcock University charges students for compulsory 2 meals @ N105,000/ semester, that is = N437.50/ meal . They have only one dinning hall for over 10,000 students. So what happens is, it's a tug of war to get your meal because sometimes you are in class during the meal serving.
There is no form of meat served at all. Just bland food without Maggi.
Yet the school is the only one that can sell food anywhere on the campus. Students are also not allowed to go outside the campus. The only place they sell meat and chicken is in their hotel within the campus (also owned by Babcock management).
The meal is about N3,500 per plate of rice and chicken. Like what you can buy at The place.

Nigerians are very docile people, they have been cowered by too long military rule...
Such a pity!

Na wa o. So u guys don't want "them" to pay our salary again,because they claim those extra charges r where our salary or benefits are coming from�

But all the same as a parent,I wish this fraudulent act can stop. The government should regulate and monitor our private schools. So many things going on there that are not right.

humberjade:
Hmm

The thing just tire me...just coughed out 100k plus for a Primary 4 pupil....a 40 per cent jump from the 60k I paid at the beginning of last session.

33 text books!!! I am still shocked

Well sha, nah because of pikin man dey hustle double!!!

Until we have a govt that prioritises education, these private schools will keep fleecing us of our hard-earned money.

It's over 66.67% increase.

What has the docility of Nigerians got to do with the scenario you just painted? Perhaps wrong use of grammer.
If you take your child anywhere for that matter, there is the need for you to know that "terms and conditions apply"
Like Oyedepo used to say, "you beg to apply, you are forced to comply"

Eclos?

Well done ooo Mathematician

Nor mind me, I have always been poor in maths

Thanks

The inspectorate arm of Education Ministry and related regulatory bodies are in deep slumber and they also look away from these things because school owners grease their palms.

The thing tire me oo... My son's school fee is 150k but apart from that, I paid 50k for just textbook

Spot on

Raise it up during the next PTA meeting. Or you can start a WhatsApp group of for parents, there you raise the issue

i teach in a school and my mouth cant say what i go through. am so tired of it all. everything the op said is correct. including notebook and stupid workbooks. the so called proprietors are slave drivers. slavery has not ended. we just substituted the word with the kind of job we do

lereinter:



How did parents kill government sch

After the holistic approach of the Rwandan govt, didn't you hear about what's happening private schs there

If you have 10 bright students now, 7 went to private schools

Go and check best students in jamb or waec

Not Lagos state government school. De highest in jamb last 3 years was in government school Lagos

Where I'm residing now, none is forcing anyone to buy books from their schools. I have two kids in different schools and I always buy books from market for them including school uniforms and none of their school authorities have ever questioned me. Mr. OP please stop generalizing things. Be specific about the state or the part of the country where this kind of things happens, thanks.

BUHARI is head of fraud and corruption.
