How Private School Owners Are Dubiously Cheating Their Teachers by uromii: 12:06pm On Jul 17, 2020
Every honest proprietor is supposed to have paid it staff their February, March and April salary in full plus even necessary bonus because they collect their fees per term and this money is paid in whole and they normally demand this money (fee drive) from second week of resumption and their dead line for payments is always that first month of resumption and the lockdown started towords ending of March , almost all school's does this.

In other words %96 percent of schools in Nigeria have already collected their pupils school fees before the covid-19 lock down.

To show How wicked black man can be most of the proprietors/proprietress have dubiously refused to give their staff their complete payment for April, May. Most school owners are not always honest to their workers because no regulatory bodies beams their watch light on them.

So if you are a teacher you teach in a private school and you did not receive your April and may salary from your director , just know you have been cheated.

We weren't paid since February; it's more than fraud. Survival is very expensive especially when you are the one fam is looking up to.

So %96 is a really unrealistic number. I'ld go with 50% at most...
I still stand with my 96 with facts.

I'm a private school teacher. And I think your analysis above is flawed
Unless you are a private school owner or you just want to justify this wicked fraud against noble teachers.
1, I understand most schools collect their fees on installments. I can categorically tell you that for Nigerian private schools concerns, the population per weekly attendance once after mid term break ; a largely significant number of students/pupils has paid and cleared their tuition fee.
2. Nigeria private schools owners can never allow a child to sit for terminal exams without clearing it's debts , you Will surely never find that child in the exam hall. Realistically %96 pupils you see in the exam halls had cleared.
3. There are some cases where some parents that has been trying or faithful maybe had some downtime evidently made known to the school management would have been allowed their kids to continue , they are the ones that fall into the other part of the %96.

This certainly doesn't work for most private schools in Nigeria. At least, not for where I work. Since most private schools are patronized by families that live on somewhere below the middle class income range...
This is exactly what most of this private school owners will always schemishly tell their teachers. But if make your indept findings as a teacher you will discover a significant number of students had cleared. Now you ask why then are they still owing , some wicked ones will delay it for days/weeks after your salary due date. Why because some of them want be big business, real estate owners and travel abroad by all means .

Since most private schools are patronized by families that live on somewhere below the middle class income range, I think I have a pretty good idea how they make their payments.

Some parents pay early on. Some pay after the first fee drive. Some pay in parts when they get salaries. Some pay whenever those sponsoring the child's education send the money. Some wait until exam time to pay. And some will still not pay that term. And the school will still consider some pleas too. So 96% is a really unrealistic number. I'ld go with 50% at most.

What you should insist on instead is the school management seeking other possible ways to ensure their staff get paid.

Oga, i disagree totally with your opinion. These so called proprietors are just wicked. Most of the schools were writing exam before the lockdown, meaning that, payments already made. Besides, they collected for the whole term, Jan - April, but they decided to stop salary at Feb/March haba!!

The questions now are:

i. Won't they collect the money from parents, if they've not done so?
ii. Will they pay their staff the outstanding money after resumption?
iii. What have they been using the previous monies they collected for?

In conclusion, they are not to be blamed but our government that failed to formulate policies and follow up.

You are welcome to disagree 'totally'. I was merely addressing the '96% claim' made by the OP in the payment of school fees, using my experience in a number of schools over some years in my locality, not the 'wickedness' of proprietors.

There's one in play now: NAPST or something. But it appears fraudulent.
It'll be a great thing to get going. And it will also require some commitments (time, finance and sacrifice to the greater good) from us to float it.

fortunately i work in a private school and all staff were paid till April. May till date only staff involve in virtual class are paid full salaries. other staff are getting half of their pay. please dont be a cheap private school teacher. get certification (international) and get a good private school and you wont have to pass through stress like this. honestly there is money working in a private school if you have the right qualifications.

Until u start a private school , you will know how he be... most students/pupils would not pay until exam and even if some go pay, na 30%, dem go dey beg make dem allow their wards do exam.. some parents self fit take their children away from the school in the following term and going to another when the debt accumulated is too much.... except super standard private school oo, but an average private school in naija na doom.. it's not the fault of the proprietors all the time.. they pay mostly on what they earn..
