corpers don fall my hands o,
tomorow leaders killing future leaders

Ogbonaikenna: Very true. I'm a corper and i know everything he's saying is correct. We don't have teaching background and you expect us to impact what we don't have. Its impossible. I'm a civil engineer wasting my precious time teaching JSS classes. Only in nija

i agree wiv u oo my broda, am also a corper, ve bin thinkin on where to start frm gan sef. I can lecture buh nt teach, Cant imagine hw d xperience wl look like........

elari: did you just mention the fact that you taught english?

berem: very true. how can someone who studied Electrical Electronics be told to teach Further Mathematics ? wetin im sabi? some corpers are not trained teachers too. I do support the teachers council.

Looking at it the other way round what does someone who studied Education in School teach? Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography?
Basically they'll end up teaching a subject they never ever studied in their 4 fours in tertiary education.

So which is better? I'll pick the Elect/Elect guy cause he would know Further Maths to an extent.

berem: very true. how can someone who studied Electrical Electronics be told to teach Further Mathematics ? wetin im sabi? some corpers are not trained teachers too. I do support the teachers council.

An Elect/Elect Engr graduate should be able to teach Further Maths efficiently!

I am being forced to question your age and intelligence!

Teachers council got it wrong here.

imao God hv mercy on Nigeria teachers lazy set of people they now relied on corper now, corper do this, corper do that. the major thing is that every proprietor & proprietress now demand for corper from NYSE office to request for corpers, some refuses to employee teachers just to economis their payments cos they new corper will earn #5000 @ the end of the month.
ow

Yes,d teachers council r ryt......hw can sumbdy lyk me who read banking/finance teach sumtin i ws nt trained in......evn my skul/dpt culdnt snd us 4 an IT in our field n now dy want us 2 teach.....i tink evry graduate shld be snt 2 his/her field of study n nufin more......there is no way u sow an orange 2 reap guava,no way.

On one hand, I can boldy assert than corpers make up atleast 50% of the teachers in the core Northern states and they do a lot of work.

Mass failure in WAEC and NECO is not as a result of corpers anything. When you have kids who don't understand the very basics of what learning is supposed to be all about. They can't spell correctly, can't write correctly, can't speak correctly. How do they understand correctly talkless of getting A's? It's just like bringing Mourinho to coach Super Eagles - It's already to late for him to eFfect any magic as the players have effectively picked up bad habits or even not picked up the basic essentials he'll need to make them succeed.

My own view is that the rot in our Educational system lies at the Nursery and Primary School levels. Go to a public school and see what they are teaching them are those levels...you'd be amazed. They kids don't know jack at this stage so it'll be a miracle to ask them to brighten up all of a sudden when time fr WAEC comes.

Sincerely, if you can lecture then teaching shouldn't be a problem for you, just try to carry the students or pupils along. You will enjoy it. Don't forget you were once like them.

Although they are right yet we can't blame d government.anybody who has graduated from a course shud be able to teach certain subjects if not many.certain subjects like the trio in jamb after english is excluded.most graduates are fluke.I can still remember my PhyChemBio to a great extent though nt much of physics.so,if d corper actually passed his pre-university exams without aid,why shouldn't he be able to teach while serving wen he has got chance to revise dem?

Nwogbe: whether u read edu or nt isnt d point. As someone that was given a university training and really pass through skul witout paying for ur grades u should be able and capable to teach in a sec skul. The issue is d half barked graduate dat our unis and polys turn out. I use to be one of d best teacher in ma skul when I served buh never read education thu.

Na wah o! You go school so? Wif this your rickety,dilapidated junk you call english......I wonder wat sort of knowledge you imparted to those students.

One of the best teacher I have encountered in life was a corp member. So, this generalization is fallacious.

The former corper in question had a BSc in Engineering. Posted to my school while most of us were struggling to score 50-60% in Mathematics. He made us to know that the only way to know Maths is "solving Maths everyday". By the time he finished his one year service, he was hired on contract. In 2years time he turned most of us from D and E student(in Maths) to A and B students. That was when I dumped my dream of Medical science for Engineering. Though I have not seen or heard about him for over 20yrs, I hope I will be able to trace him one day.

Kudos to Ebi Joe (Nickname) where ever U are!!

Bros, you should be able to take accounting and commerce convincingly now, haba!

Akinlawson: Lazy and old cargoes teachers, shifting blame on corpers.90% of those teachers are due for retirement, going to classes with 1972 lesson note to teach pupils. Why won't they fail?

You are very correct. Everyone is looking for who to blame in Naija!! The funny thing is, if U are young teacher employing new techniques to teach they take it as pride. How many of them go to up-grade their knowledge?
One of the things they learned back in education is Class management, but people change and Naija is fast changing!! When I thought in gov't school on a part-time basis, come see some of these "pro-teachers" sleeping in the class.

Naija truly needs help!!

solomon111: Any graduate Engineer that can't teach further-mathematics is a fraud.

Bro u said it all. Imagine someone saying that what does an elect elect grad have to do wit further maths. That is real fraud.

ayobase:

Don't mind him. If it's him, then he's a fraud full stop.

I think d govt need to have a rethink on d approach that is being used to post corpers, not all corpers should be posted to schools, some of them do not have what it takes to be a teacher, i think corpers should be posted to where they will be relevant, i mean, in relation to their area of specialisation. Posting corpers who will be more productive in field works to a school to teach is like killing their dreams, there is no way they will perform up to d expectation, because that is not their area of specialisation, so passion is generally out of it, and it is observed that, u can only achieve in d field you are passionate about. So to our government; this is a "clarion's call" for you to change in d way that d corpers are posted.
May God help us.

wtf!

Either corpers are engaged or not...students will fail

berem: very true. how can someone who studied Electrical Electronics be told to teach Further Mathematics ? wetin im sabi? some corpers are not trained teachers too. I do support the teachers council.

Huh? Electrical Electronics ĸпoω not futher maths? Haw did he graduate?

Gurl, futher math is the bedrock of E E ook?

This is an absolute and acute Bullock !

The teachers are d oηε responsible ƒoя the massive failures! Cos i got a taste of this in мч service year. The teachers are very lazy, they don't show up and when they do, it's usually very late! Sit in the staff rooms and clatter away ... Den delegate d corps members to do their jobs. Most of their lecture notes are outdated too.

Yet @ d end of the month, smile to d banks to colect τнεiя Sry!

Who says the Corps guys r responsible ƒoя student's failures?

Ogbonaikenna: Very true. I'm a corper and i know everything he's saying is correct. We don't have teaching background and you expect us to impact what we don't have. Its impossible. I'm a civil engineer wasting my precious time teaching JSS classes. Only in nija

sorry bro

I dnt think it was corpers fault. Imagine @my ppa; dia is no biology;chemistry;phys;acct;commece;govt;geography teacher. Corper shd be an assistance to teacher

Ogbonaikenna: Very true. I'm a corper and i know everything he's saying is correct. We don't have teaching background and you expect us to impact what we don't have. Its impossible. I'm a civil engineer wasting my precious time teaching JSS classes. Only in nija

U are right. U should be on construction site making good roads and bridges, instead our lazy Gov will give project worth of Billions to Politician who noting abt construction. Our development in Naija is other way

... what else do they expect when they unleash a load of untrained teachers to teach students! Even trained teachers can be rubbish, how much more those without any training.

WAS WONDERIN HOW LONG UNTILL SOM1 REALIZE IT. HOW CAN U POST A FISHERY AND AQUACULTURE GRADUATE TO TEACH PHYSICS? DUMB

tpia1: some are good teachers, from my own experience.

beware of generalization.

doesnt mean they're all good, but some are ok.

i believe those "some" you refering are those with basic teaching skills which most dont have.

Well the use of youth Corpers on teaching subjects in schools has always been a supporting role due to. critical shortages of teachers. So the council cannot blame school failures on only persons who only came to provide support. They forget that in the old days secondary schools leavers taught us some subjects in school. And the pass rate was better than now . The council just found an excuse for their failures. See what the governor of Edo found when he visited schools. Absentee teachers, lazy and inconsiderate and poorly motivated staff.

Instead of asking for better teaching upskilling programmes, training of more teachers and better remuneration, the council blames Corpers. Typical Nigerian, passing the buck.

That's great!! I was also motivated in my school work by several youth Corpers too. They. made us feel confident to become graduates!
