Teaching is lucrative if and only if you know your worth. Yes some private school owners are deputy satan, but if you know your worth you will be fine. I currently teach in an international school, my salary is a 185k. I also have lessons both online lessons as well as face to face lessons that pays close to 200k. All you need need to do is get a few Cambridge Teaching Certificate, know your subject matter. Subjects like Chemistry, Mathematics which I Teach is hot cake especially here in Abuja. English Language also is hot cake as well as ICT. 7 Likes |

Any teacher that is living and working in Lagos and is not earning up to 100k should look for something else ASAP. The painful thing is that some schools collect huge school fees yet pay their teachers peanuts. Because of poor pay, Many schools are now being run by unqualified teachers or NYSC corpers who do not take the job serious. What kind of students do you expect these schools to produce? 2 Likes |

Jewessgratitud3: School management is actually business. Hope you realise parent don't pay in time or some don't even pay at all. Greed is bad, but some of this calculation we make are not as true as make them. Pay your teachers well, and take ur school running business really seriously. Up and Down cycle. Many parents have even withdrawn their kids from private schools. 2 Likes 3 Shares |

I worked as a teacher for over 14years but truth is proprietors are the wicked set of humans in the world followed by school heads. They collect much and pay teachers peanut. The day I saw the student schoolfees I was downcast for a week. A pupil pays over 80k and they pay teachers less than 50k. Pupils buy other things, pay party money and some do extra lesson but no other money for teachers. Parents complaint nko, some parents will call u at night and be telling u their child refuses to wash plates as if na teachers responsibility. Proprietor will organise seminars even during midterm do that u cannot use that period to look for something good and will pay u middle of months so u don't run away. See my eyes see wetin my mouth no fit talk. School principal and headmaster self go dey runs and no go pay u for extra class. Until I japa runaway from Nigeria. The first wage way I collect for uk was like my annual salary on Friday way no dey miss. I remembered days I go go house tell my wife say dey no pay us salary today hence na bread we go chop. When d salary come self na debt I go use am pay. School owners worse pass politicians self 10 Likes 1 Share |

My summation, most private schools are mental institutions. The owner is a member of NAPPS, hires teachers, uses them and pays them peanuts. Some would even hire a principal, yet still run the show by dictating to the principal how to run the school. To worsen matters, parents, because they have paid some miserable sum as tuition, also dictate to the school administration how to run the school. It's in a mental institution the aforementioned abound. The way this country is going, these private school owners will end up using their children as teachers very soon. I've never been an advocate of doing anyhow job due to lack of work. Very soon we'll all be our own bosses, insha Allah! Vinnie2000: 3 Likes |

No serious and ambitious youth should remain in any private school receiving 30k as salary. These private schools are exploiters and the proprietors are proper manipulators. Doing POS or roasting corn by the road side is better. Very stressful job. You can remain in one position for 20 years. 2 Likes |

DeeGov123: They are making hella money my brother. That is why I can never work as a full time teacher. I tried it once in 2014, this Woman was charging 95k per child in kg and in my class alone we were up to 30 pupils but e reach Ebola period she couldvnot make protective materials like common gloves available and you know all this rich men children were more vulnerable as their Yankee uncle's and aunties were flying back to Nigeria with God knows what..so attending to them was a big risk. still the Woman refused to get gloves. with 18k as my enemy salary then. Na so I carry my bag Japa. She didn't believe when I Said without glove I was not going to touch any child because they were still learning to write then and so you'll need to hold their hands to guide them. I left without looking back and vowed never to work full time again. God punish devil. 3 Likes |

Vinnie2000:I also served 2014/2015 Nov 2014 batch c, i remembered the zeal and the passion my co corpers displayed then, it was top notch, though they are few ones who did education even we that didn't do education did our best, i don't think we can ever forget, lifetime memories. I think the situation of this private schools is wanting teachers to take 2 or more subjects, you sef reason am now? And it's not like that in public schools, one teacher for one subject. The one wey spoil am finish, they are not paid well, some are still ready to do it, they are underpaid , owed , or doesn't pay on time. When we taught then while we were serving, Allawee was steady, state allowance was coming though ours was paid together after 6months and i only took one subject and my co corpers taught one subject too. 2 Likes |

I can remember how many schools i habe taught in my years i think i recently decided it was a no brainer currently at the stats f the economy although if the pay is okay, i would give thr offer a serious rethink. The issues concerning private schools stems from the following 1. Poor Salary Scaling: The job of a teacher is such that we have to do it in school and at home. We literally sacrifice our days monday to sunday ,working om the clock to ensure we deliver, i think a pay of 30-50k is quite under deserving. Its alot for a profession that keeps you on your feet 7-4-5 and even on saturdays depending on what your employee wants. 2. Ambiguous Job Role: If you have meant a very WONDERFUL employee you will realize the context of your employnent letter is just a fancy way of saying , you have entered. Our roles are teachers isnt just limited to teaching, we babysit, we are caretakers, we are the non teaching staffs, we are the cleaners, we are the drivers, we are the securities, we are the cooks, we are the gardeners. You think I am exaggerating? Well I have driven for a week in my school at some point in time, i have also done personal assistnt and secretary as well. For the same pay of 30k per month. 3. Favoritism and Nepotism/ Unhealthy Working Environment: Okay, this is actually a thing i have seen reoccuring in many schools, and i have been at many schools. Most often you will find that one employer who has decided to let you know openly and publicly that you and many others arent worth as much as one other employee because that one person feeds her or him information. Basically a snitch lol. Favoritism and Nepotism are usually tools that most employers especially in the academic sector find as efficient tools to divide and conquer. The side talks, the gossips, the uneven treatment and discrimination? Yeah, education sector has it all. 4. personal growth and development: I have been around for over a decade or more in this profession, my family are a family of teachers. Well guess what, not many schools afford you the opportunity to grow and develop, this is very dangerous for a young person hencr my opinion, if you are young dont spend more than 2years in a school, except it is worth it. There are so many things unregulated going on witinn the private sector of education. So many nonsense constantly traumatising alot of people for life. I wish there are regulations but nothing is done. Most employees are forced to work due to economic woes for egolomaniac and narcissistic and manipulative employers all their lives. 3 Likes |

CSTRR:I am a teacher and l know what I am saying. I have been part of the system in the classroom and at administration level. A classroom of at least 18 or 15 pupils and the school is collecting minimum of #15 as school fees. #225,000 for 15pupils in a term. What cost the school from giving the teacher #75k per term @25k per instead of #15k of #45k per term? If you are educationist school owner, NOT a business school owner, you must be offering minimum standard at affordable charges for the parents not to own you more than #50 out of #225k. It remains #175k - #75k of teachers, you still have #100k + profits from text books, exercise books and other charges WHICH many school owners failed to understand is the causes of some parents from paying school fees. They usually pay those small, small charges but they will not pay school fees. 2 Likes |
