Especially when u can speak English with good phonetic tone, u will be termed a genius while ignoring calculation related subjects.

N150,000 per child is not too much. That's roughly N50,000 per month to teach your child.

If you cannot afford it, then take your child to a government school.

Alaye make money and stop complaining

Whobedatte:
My brother , I tire ,school go resume now and my daughter school fees must be paid with subsequent one which is January because school resumes first week in January .
So over 300k for a 2 year old . And no be say the teachers dey speak British intonations or school get large sporting facilities sef .

FLYFIRE:
You mixed things up. In the same breath you say Nigeria has no government & same breath that ASUU, that is fighting for things to go better, is fighting for their pockets. How do we get it right if no one stands up & not just complain as you did with your topic

ppogba:
If something can happen to one, it can equally happen to the four.

Change the way you think. This way of your thinking is like that of the olden days when people will tell you that they need to have plenty children because " we do not know the one that will take care of us in our old age"

Whobedatte:
There is one school at Gowon estate here in Egbeda where a 2 year old school fees alone is almost 100k . School bus and extra school totalling 150k .

The truth is govt sch in Naija are beta than private school standard wise. Govt schools have qualified teachers, lots of equipments, a perfect academic space, etc.

Nigerians just love p sch cos of name. Govt sch need packaging and strict discipline. Not flogging and punishment, but instant expulsion.

They also need to separate the bad kids from the good kids.
Good one I agree with you.

That's a reason puplic schools must be
revived

I also think it is exorbitant. But the questions are: Does the price match the quality? And can you afford it?

If your answer to any of them is no, then you should switch schools. You've paid more attention to the price so far and have said nothing about the quality. Quality is more important than price in most cases. The fact that it's expensive doesn't mean its quality. There'll definitely be cheaper schools of similar/better quality.

In most countries, government schools are the standard of education. So private schools have to offer whatever the government schools offer plus a bit more. Unfortunately, that is not the case here since government schools themselves are substandard. Government secondary schools are still a bit better but you see those ones government primary schools? Just forget it.Tgey are just glorified.They have structures but most of these expensive schools have low quality teaching.I have interacted with alot of primary school kids going to expensive schools and they are below par as at when I was their age.

That's abroad. The system there is different from Nigerias, so what works for them might not work for you. Unless you plan going there to further in your education after homeschooling which I don't think will still be possible without your certs or academic credentials from Nigeria to continue studying abroad.
The ultimate is WAEC OR GCE.one can always enrol for WAEC after homeschooling.
Anyways, your choice.

Shoodboi:
There are different classes of secondary schools. But generally, the lower the fees, the lower the quality since they get to pay teachers less and spend less on facilities and equipment. if you cannot afford 150k for a primary school pupil, then it's time to change their school to one that charges less. If no school around you charges what you deem affordable, then you are living in an area above your economic means and should move.

Blessedmercy8:
See what I was saying.

Homeschool licenced and authorized by who?

Registered under what educational body?

When its time to enter the University, with what certified document and criteria? The one you produced at home?

Just put your child in a school you can afford. There are cheaper schools out there. It's you who's looking for standard that you can't afford. When I said let people wait until they are financially strong before having a family so they can give them the best, a lot of men came at me like a wounded lion. Now see...

People who talk from both sides of their mouth are not to be taken seriously and nairaland men are one of such people.

Homes schooling kor.

You get? The government is the problem. Sadly, some of them even have their own private schools that charge exorbitant prices too. Just like what happens in our hospitals too.
If Government school was a good option, the competition will be right and the cost won't be so high. Also, the government will be sensible when charging levies and the private schools can thrive comfortably or go out of business if they can't cope. All of these boil down to them.
Even their own JAMB has moved from a supposedly examining body to one that reports profits every year.

michlins:
omo I attended public school, my kids will probably attend same.

In this Nigeria, university education doesn't guarantee anything. You still need to keep funds for the child after university to help him or her set up for life. I truly agree with you but most times it's good to start relating with the elite kids in private schools so your kids don't feel inferior.

DesChyko:
Before this, there needs to be a lot of policies in place to protect business owners. And not just school owners. Most times, business owners are just out on their own; regulating the prices of things themselves while coping with this stupid levy or that silly levy. Then this union fees and that union fees. And the government have no say in this as they don't even do their part to help the business owners.
If the government are bad at maintaining their own schools, then they can't even interfere in private schools before they spoil it like their own.

michlins:
the way Nigeria is, getting married is by his grace. By the time you have four kids, you must have exhausted the grace

DesChyko:
To the government, It's a private business organization. The only way for the government to regulate them is to up their standards. These people pay taxes and other levies to be able to do business in Nigeria.

Doyou2019:
You bet. Since the lockdown in 2020, homeschooling has become some sort of a trend in the Southwest, particularly in rural indigent communities. .
It's no longer business as usual for school owners down here.

Doyou2019:
Just homeschool your elementary school kids or get them a lesson teacher that knows their onions.
Enrol them in a decent Federal Government College for their post primary studies. Most people are now into home school as the private schools are just too expensive.The Nigerian system 8s in a free fall.Anything goes and no one cares.

guobe change to a cheaper private school or better still opt in for government school

P schs are not riping parents off. Private schools are very expensive all over the world. 9ja private sch are way way too cheap.

Private schools have been underpaying teachers for a long time cos they want the fees to be affordable at the expense of the teacher's.

How long will those teacher's earn less?

Nigerians don dey wise up.

Sales girls job: The girls are no longer interested.

Private sch teachers are wising up.

LikeAking:
Una go wise up soon.

How many rich people in the US n Europe are sending dia kids to private schools? Talkless of the poor and average over dia?

Why will Nigerians dispose public schools?

Nigerian parents are just working for school owners all in the name of good education.

Una go wise soon.
