Bros, I am a teacher in an elite A-Level college and I tell you, if I come to this world 100 times , I would be a teacher..

The perks of teaching in my institution?

6-figure salaries

Paid annual leave

Excellent lunch and breakfact

Salaries paid promptly by 26th of every month

School sponsored professional and self-development trainings nationally and internationally

13th-month salaries

Full payment of salaries even during 2 months of lockdown, ( with palliatives)

Approachable Executive Director ( God bless Mrs FKA)

Excellent welfare services for staff from junior to senior..

Nice accommodation for staff who live far

Flexible working time ( both online or physical) especially for a woman like me

I have lost count of so many online teaching professional diplomas my institution has paid for in Euros and dollars

The list is endless

I am not in a perfect place, but our complains are very very few..

Bros, teaching is the best if you are in a good and thriving school

Best wishes to all

Naustine:
Was working as a private school teacher by this time last year, na during lockdown I know say I no get work.

Thank God things changed

Tomilola360:
I don't think teachers should be paid when they don't work.

If you work 2 weeks in a month, you should get the 2 weeks worth of pay.

However, the main issue that needs to be addressed is what teachers get paid. The salaries are ridiculously small. How teachers survive with this stipend surprises me.

And to say the school owners don't make enough money is a very big fat lie.

sinkhole:
A teacher that did not work during the holiday will clearly show during his/her delivery during the school session.
What the private school do is to employ unqualified teachers (non NCE, BEd, PGDE), those teachers can not complain if they are exploited, as the judgement of Ministry will most likely be that those people should be disengaged and the school should employ qualified teachers who will stand on their rights!

Devilagentcap:
Why is it that most private school don't pay their workers during hoildays. Like once the term ends like this. Salary wnt be paid till when they start work again.

This isn't right now.

Please, what's your view about this policy, guy?

ajepako:


5.5 million for boarders

4:2 million for day students..

I am not even including my private IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT lessons I charge extra for..

Bros, get the right certification and connection ( and of course grace from God)

You'll find teaching to be one of the most lucrative out there, without taking all your time..

BabaIbo:


Which rubbish teaching is the best?

Just say you have a good paying job(even the pay is peanut to some people) and don't open your mouth waaah to say what is not.

I have done teaching jobs with side gigs(home tutorials with good pays) in the past.

But if I have the opportunity of doing a teaching job in the best working environment in Nigeria or being a business man(medium enterprise OR higher), I will choose business over and over again.

Jokerman:


See what we are talking about... how then can a school which collects 15-20k per term with slow payment, be able to pay high salaries?

Newton2024:
My proprietress has not paid me my March salary (15k) till today and no work no salary for April. She said she is expecting some parents to pay her during holiday. I'm the only English teacher in the school for both JS & SS. In my next life, I will never be a teacher.

Two worst jobs in Nigeria:
1. To be carrying chalk
2. To be carrying gun

zedegit:


Six figures start from #100 000. You don't think it's possible? Some schools take over #500 000 to millions as tuition fee.

Please you need to disengage your poverty mentality before you can progress.

Jokerman:


This kind school dey Lekki or Vi, and school fees might be 2-3 million per term....

demainman:
A science teacher is needed in a private school - courses he/she will teach are physics and chemistry.
Payment is 22k.
Vacancy is only for people in Abaranje area of Ikotun.

To know the answer to your question I suggest you set up your own school then during holidays when there is no money coming in you go and take money from your personal savings to pay your teachers let us see if that school will survive for up to 2 years!

Nten:
An imbroglio of monumental proportion!
Until teachers are formidable enough in such school who will take drastic measures like down tooling together at the heat of such issue.
But unemployment has created a huge vacuum were people are willing to take anything without recourse.

Johnnycastro18:
Pathetic, feel sorry for all our hard working teacher's out there experiencing this kind of situation

Modified; the person that commented below me, my reply to you is that private school owners are not supposed to rely "AlONE" on the school fees parents pay for there children at the School's before they can be able to pay there teachers salary,

as a proprietor/proprietress or school owner who is wise and is aware of the challenges faced in running a school in this country you are expected to diversify and have other source of income.......I know of a lecturer in this country that owns a private school(primary/secondary) school, on many occasions due to lack of payment of school fees by parents he normaly use his own salary to pay his teachers just to ensure he keeps everyone( the teachers) happy and avoid complaints, I know of many business owners who owned schools and have had to pay teachers from there private money, this money they can replace when parents later pay there wards schools fees.......

It is suicidal and unwise for any private school owner to rely on schools fees alone to pay teacher salaries, especially new and upcoming schools with low population of students.

Jokerman:


My brother... a school in Ebute metta, collects 5k per term, and yet the parents don't pay school fees on time, how then do you want owner to employ graduates?? You sef reason am now...

kingemaker:

Jokerman:
