The submission here is not true in all cases. There is a known school in the high brow of Lagos that sued a parent for outstanding school fees. Schools have one story or the other to tell about the difficulty in collecting school fees. I agree with 50% stat. I was a teacher and now a proprietor. I have tasted both side and do have a balanced view of both world. It is easy to criticize when experience is lacking. Why not start your own school and seek to be better. This does not mean there are no private school that play fast one on their teachers. My teachers know when money comes in and when the ground is dry. We try to be open as far as humanly possible. 2 Likes |

abimic: less than 40?? It depends on what the parents earn for a living... Most parents in my city won't even pay 10k during this pandemic.. Many are using the pandemic as an excuse. One parent is still yet to pay me for March lesson... just 10k |

This is one of the reason why there is poverty in the country, people are just too selfish and self-centered. I think there should be legislation in Nigeria that if you can not pay teachers in your school above minimum wages, your school will not be registered. How can a teacher be paid N8,000 per month |

donblazer10: Oga, forget the scam from the proprietors, I worked in 5 different private schools for 8 years before I changed my work. There is money in school business EXCEPT you are stinkingly poor before you started yours. |

ocelot2006: Teachers supposed get full salaries for the month of March and April. Money enters during test and exam. All Nigerian schools have written test before the lock down, some were writing exam, while some were preparing to write. Sir, at these periods in the school calendar, good administrator would have collected 80 - 90% of the necessary fees. There problem is that most of the proprietors were poor before entering the business hence, they could not have a standard for their school at the beginning. |
Re: How Private School Owners Are Dubiously Cheating Their Teachers by Vanpascore(m): 6:21pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
donblazer10: I laugh too. Do you know that poverty pushed some proprietors into the business? They don't have the basic ideas and principles of what should be in place before the start-up, No solid plans, all was for them to rent kne or two room(s), start a school and EXPECT BIG CASH. |

stormborn28: Don't you carry out general repairs and maintenance works, plus the execution of some capital projects, during the holiday period ahead of a new academic term/session? |
Re: How Private School Owners Are Dubiously Cheating Their Teachers by ocelot2006(m): 10:33am On Jul 20, 2020 |
Vanpascore: Bros, again you don't have a clue the difficulty faced in collecting fees in private schools. BTW when I refer to private schools, I'm not just referring to small startups using rented apartments, but also large STANDARD schools situated on acres of land and with some of the best facilities built by proprietors who made it before they decided to invest in education. These are schools that equally have fee drives but at the same time must do it humanely and with empathy as it is a way of easing the financial strain on parents and retaining parents plus even attracting more. My advice that you leave the rumours from the grapevines in staff rooms and probably stay close to your school's Bursary Department/Unit to get a somewhat clear picture of the financial state of your school. Whoever says that education is highly profitable should delve into it first then brief the house later about their respective experiences. |

placeofallure: Wow, hold it right there! PTA levies? You are aware that Management teams in schools CANNOT touch PTA levies as it is controlled by the PTA exco team of the school led by a parent who is the Exco Chairman, right? And you mentioned fees like Excursion fees. You do realise that MOST excursions, even foreign trips, are OPTIONAL, not compulsory, right? As for other fees mentioned, they depend on the term (eg Graduation & Cultural Day - 3rd Term). Equally keep in mind that everything tend to be rolled into one fee (at least for the schools I know). So basically, this post of yours just exposed your total ignorance about the Financial workings of a school. Until you've served on the other side and have walked in the shoes of proprietors, you simply don't have a CLUE. |

ocelot2006:you are deluding yourself... Since March has any major activities taken place in school? Except you are running those buses on your personal errands.. There is no way all what is listed there will be carried out |
Re: How Private School Owners Are Dubiously Cheating Their Teachers by ocelot2006(m): 1:41pm On Jul 20, 2020 |
stormborn28: I asked a simple question: do you carry out general repairs and maintenance works during the holiday period when pupils/students are absent in preparation of a new academic term/session? Btw claiming that the under listed will not be carried is simply laughable. PHEDC still issue bills, and even proposed a charge increase before it was shot down. Some schools still ran with skeletal staff for online classes. That means slashed salaries for participating teachers and support staff. That in turn means payment for internet access and power (diesel supply for generators). Oh, as for the vehicles, they all packed alright....you forgot the part that they have to be prepped and maintained for the forthcoming term....or do you wait for the term to resume before you rush to carry out repairs? Same goes for power generators and facilities (classrooms, dormitories, laboratories, workshops, etc), plus tools. And then there are capital projects from new facilities (new classroom blocks, new halls of residence plus furnishing, new recreational facilities for the students, road construction, etc). Overall I don't think you don't know jacks@#t about what it takes to run a school. Now move along. |

stormborn28: Personnel are obviously the most important resource in any organization. The point I'm trying to make, same point earlier mentioned by another poster is that schools are pretty much drained at the close of the Term, and still have financial obligations to meet, including the payment. With no cash inflow via fee payments for such an extended period, no financial aid from the Federal or State govt, and a dwindling purse no thanks to those obligations, how do you expect the management of these schools to pay salaries? Hell, even oil companies and large conglomerates are laying off employees. At least the schools I know haven't done same. As much as the plight of Teachers and support staff is understood, it is equally imperative that you look at this issue objectively from both ends. Keep in mind that this is the very first we've experienced such a pandemic (at least in our lifetime). |

ocelot2006: Total ignorance kwa? You're the clueless one here. Why did you highlight some and leave out the rest. Since you are a grand patron in the affairs of school administration, you should have something to say concerning everything I mentioned there. Since you know so much, explain why teachers' salary as far back as February are still owed , abi you no follow the trend? For most schools, there's always an event if not more for every term. They make a lot through these events. 1st term - End of the year party, Carols etc. 2nd term - Inter-house sports, 3rd term - Graduation party. Some schools won't even break down the fees. They don't want you to question any particular levy. Unless you insist, they don't give you the break down. And the mathematics I asked to be done in my comment, please grand patron, biko do the maths na, how fair is that? I know your type, people will be under you and you won't want them to rise. Your type will kneel on somebody's neck so they wouldn't breathe. You will suffocate and eventually kill them. Just know God will visit all of you one by one. You will surely get your comeuppance! |

placeofallure: Madam "cluefull", thanks for the "grand patron" title, even though I'm not. But let me say that the highlighted part of your post CLEAR supports my claim that you don't really know much about financing when it comes to running schools. No sane school will not give a break down of its fees from tuition, utilities, etc. I dare you to check the prospectus and websites of various schools and you'll see that your allegation is simply false. The problem with folks like you is that you look at the money up front, probably do a mental calculation with the number of pupils/students, and immediately jump to conclusions. And that's it. Yet you have absolutely no idea how the money is spent, or if a considerable chunk of that money has already been collected in the first place. But hey whatever floats your boat. By the way, you don't know me in person, so accusing me of stifling the growth of others is simply baseless and laughable. Anyway, I think I've wasted much time on this topic. You're entitled to your own opinions, even though they are totally flawed and uninformed. However like a previous poster I will suggest you open your own school, experience the "fun" in it, and let's see if you'll still be yapping about the "selfishness and greed" of proprietors. I'm out. |
