Why won't they be short of teachers when they pay peanut out of the millions they are making?

You'll see a school charging 50k on the average per child with a population of 100 or more pupils paying teachers 25k. Isn't that wickedness? And you expect such a person to continue working the millions for you while you and your family keep enjoying the money.

I tell you a real life story.

Before I never knew this mushroom private schools make hell of money until my experience with one.


This woman will always cry that the school is small that we should bear with her . When the school starts growing in number she'll do something about the pay..

One year down the line the number increased and she did an increase in her school fees. I approached her afterwards and tried to remind her of her promise to do something about our charges ( cos I'm on part-time arrangements). This woman turned to lion and tolde she can't do anything that in fact I'm earning higher than her full time teachers and she has not done anything for her teachers. I tried to let her know this was not our agreement but she turned deaf ears. Well.. since I have other schools that were paying well, I said let me calm down and see what will happen. That year she sent her son to Ukraine, this Someone who claims no money. The school kept increasing. She sent her two other children to a private university. Hmmm . Meanwhile her full time teachers were collecting 10k. Three years down the line, she still refused to do something about my charges. By then I had gotten better schools and was just using hers to rest. You know.. because I've been long with them, the school was already established in my subject, so I hardly do much or stress myself explaining for too long before they grab. Though I was not happy.

Four years down the line for the son in Ukraine to graduate, his school was bombed down. You guys know that university in Ukraine that got bombed during Russia and Ukrain war, that's the school the son was attending. She was crying and panicking that day and said she didn't know where the son ran to that he just sent the pics of the school and since then she has not heard from him that students are running all over the place while some are being evacuated by security men but that she doesn't even know where the son was. I was just consoling her that day. I saw the video of the school her son sent her burning.

All their computers, results and everything got burnt in that blast. The son was later evacuated to another neighboring Country with other students and had to start afresh because news went round then that since they lost their records and all in the fire, the school can't graduate anyone because no data to work with or determine who's due for graduation.

Now what am I trying to say, this woman used the sweat of her teachers to send the boy abroad to school in one of the most expensive universities in Ukraine while paying her teachers then, 10k as salary and always complaining school is not making money. Her other children are in private universities and till today she's still complains of no money just to avoid increasing salaries. Though according to the only teacher remaining there, I heard she has increased it to 25k now while she added a miserable 5k to mine claiming my charges has always been to high from the beginning. Now she has only two teachers left. She will interview new ones only for them not to resume the day they're supposed to.

Tell me why teachers will not leave.

I will never advice my worst enemy to work in a school except the ones that pay well on the island (Green springs, Corona, etc). For the mainland, Oakwood, Pampers, Grace high school, ECT. Why should anyone be earning 30k in this country while the children in nursery school pay almost 200k as school fees. If you want to waste your youth, then work in a school. I worked in a school for 6 months and resigned. I refused to waste my youth and not even gain any experience. I stayed at home for almost a year before I got a job that put me on a career path.

It is better to sell tomatoes in front of your house than to work in a low paying private school. Some people think it gives mothers time for their children, that is a big lie. Private schools don't release their teachers until 4pm. You go to work from 7am to 4pm everyday just to earn 30k that can't even buy your toiletries and foodstuffs. All teachers should start thinking business and dump that profession. By the time nobody is applying for teaching jobs, the school owners will will be forced to pay teachers well. Teaching is a difficult job yet the least rewarded in this country.

Most private schools are notorious for underpaying teachers. Imagine offering an NCE/BSC holder 30k monthly whereas the school fee of each student is over 100k.

Seems those teachers have found something more worthwhile to do with their lives...

Rubbish , when school management exploit people because of limited jobs what do you expect?
You’ll pay a grown up man and woman 15-25k a month and expect him to slave for you . It’s better to do POS have your peace of mind than slave for one proprietor.

Youth corners are not suppose to serve as replacements for teachers. Their abrupt departure from lives of their students creates disturbance in their academic lives.

It's like all private school owners belong to a coven. They don't pay good salaries and they use their teachers like slaves.
You will write lesson notes, they will tell teachers to come to school during holidays and mid-term breaks for unnecessary seminars. Upon this, they give the students priority over the teachers.

We should stop forcing corpers into teaching because we are too greedy to pay proper teachers. Youth corpers are not teachers, they are not qualified to to teach, they are not supposed to be teaching, do the right thing!

Most Private school owners in Nigeria are in the habit of maximizing profits without considering teachers' welfare in spite of the fact that they are graduates and trying by every means possible to transfer knowledge.If not for the high unemployment rate how many Nigerians have flare for teaching career?

The title of your thread is a bit misleading but I understand what you're trying to say.

The thing is that most proprietors don't know Jack about running a school and they don't like to pay good money. They feed fat while teachers go hungry and often receive late payments.

Because of these, the teachers are forced to look for alternatives, so I don't blame them. Imagine working for a school where the school fees of only 1 student can cover the salary of 5 teachers in one month! Too bad.

Private schools are typical examples of how selfish and greedy Nigerians can be. The owners of these schools are just too wicked.

They pay teachers as low as 15k monthly with students in a class more than thirty...

How can one survive on 15k in a month? And the proprietors and proprietress redirecting school monies into buying cool cars and building houses.

It's alarming.

Lots of smaller private schools hardly have teachers for subjects like Technical drawing, Music, languagues, CRK, Geography, literature etc. Secondary schools for that matter. They don't want to employ them because of payment.

They pay them peanuts.

It's a disaster waiting to happen.

This is where govt schools,are better they have these teachers, and they pay a bit decently.

Plus they don’t find it difficult to owe teachers their salaries.
