So I developed passion for teaching during my NYSC. After service I couldn't get regular jobs because of the distance from my place of residence to city so I resolve to apply for teaching.
Since I started teaching in private school I have been exploited, over used, underpaid, and so many ills. I have made up my mind to quit because there are lots of frustrated people running the schools. I'm planning to quit by end of this second term. I applied for PGDE in education in one of the federal University but I feel it ain't worth it anymore, i will jus go for the program just to enhance my certificate.
I plan to run online course and certification to improve my employability and I currently learning some skills as well

I will not say you have made a good decision, but if teaching in a private school has made you a victim of exploitation, then I would suggest you try and open your own school. The reason I say so is because I see you have a passion for teaching ; and this passion if effectively used, can to settle your needs and make you very financially stable. But this is just a suggestion and I am sure other gurus in the house will bring their own opinions.


Peace

Good for you

Advice is cheap. Is it the meagre pay he gets from private school he'd use to start school? U want him to be frustrated like those he mentioned?

Let's begin with this: Which state do you reside? I will suggest you change your job location. This worked for me a long time ago. There are schools and there are schools.

Brother, I know many school teachers who became school proprietors and they did this by saving their "meagre salaries". So you see, it is all about planning and having a focus on what it is you want out of life. And before you start questioning me, please note : I was once a teacher, and I know what teachers in Nigeria pass through on a daily basis.

I taught of that, i live in ogun state but I was considering moving to Lagos but for accommodation issues.
I wanted to apply for schools that will offer accommodation far from my place but I found none.

Not all school established by teachers end up becoming mushroom-schools. Some of the "mushroom schools " you see out there lack proper management and once there is no management, then the standard will fall.

Keep applying. Don't give up. Google list of secondary schools in Lagos (Lekki) for example then submit your resume online through their website. Pray for interview invite, attend and when you succeed, tell them about accomodation.

Read my post carefully : I said "...I was once a teacher...". So that should tell you that I am not a " minister of teachers affairs"

Ok then, you must be a proprietor/ess by now, since your place of work specialises in breeding them in multitude.

Sorry for the trolling.

BTW, not every comment deserves an answer.
