Fhemmmy: I am dancing azonto and smiling with this great info, but if you dont mind me asking you, do you currently run a school, if yes, please which state?

I used to manage a school in sango otta, ogun state and the school was borne out of a preparatory school (tutorial center). So during the registration, i got to know the details and modalities involved.

Presently, I am a client manager of an educational consult in lekki-Ajah, Lagos, a part of lagos where schools thrive very well.
most of them have the structures already and consequently have no problem with officials.


let me give an example, while registering the school, we couldnt provide 3 standard laboratories for the science department. The official ask us to pay a certain amount to offset that inadequacy.

The basic thing about having a school is to.......
-- identify the market (the class of the society you are targeting)

--the type or form of school (creche, primary or secondary)

-- Brand the school very well ( concepts do work well in lagos).
some parents send the kids to a school just to show their social status. The Parent forum of some schools like America international school, BIS, even chrisland, Greenspring are just like a social club.

most of these schools form the base of our clients so i do relate with them well.

--- invest in human resources and infrastructure, the more the packaging the better ( nigerian love to associate with good things, ask seun osewa, ambassador schools just came to otta and people sent their kid there, another school adjacent the road with good structures too and cant even boast of 20 students in ss2).


My official e mail is olayinka@ebtutors.com should you have any other questions.
you can check the consult website www.ebtutors.com

Regards

Fhemmmy: Midax&Phoenix, Thanks a lot for this in depth information, i will surely print it out, study and take my time to digest it all . . . You are blessed, Sir!

A ki dupe ara eni.

Warm Regards

For primary schools, NCE is required of all head teachers while for junior and senior secondary schools the requirement is a B.Ed degree or a university degree with a teaching qualification.

All states seem to agree with these requirements.

The teachers’ qualification for primary schools was the NCE except in the case of Edo and Kaduna states which could also accept a teachers’ certificate grade II.

For junior and senior secondary schools the NCE, B.Ed, 1st degree and PGDE are the required qualifications.

The minimum number of teachers at inception as specified by the federal government is 3 for primary and 12 for both junior and senior secondary schools



Certification
Nigerians place much emphasis on paper certification. The NPE decrees that the conduct of examination and award of certificate at the primary should be by the head master.

At the junior secondary level of education, National Examinations Council (NECO) and state ministries of education conduct the terminal examinations for certification.


At the senior secondary school level, external examination bodies like West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and NECO are responsible for the certification exercise.


The Nigerian National Policy on Education provides guidelines for certification at each level of schooling. In it, it is stated that at the end of the six-year primary education, the Primary school leaving certificate, which is based only on continuous assessment shall be issued locally by the head teacher of the school.

For the three-year junior secondary school certificate (JSC), it is based on continuous assessment and examination conducted by state and NECO.


CULLED FROM
Accreditation and certification issues in Nigerian schools
Omaze Anthony Afemikhe1, Jennifer Omo-Egbekuse2 and Sylvanus Yakubu Imobekhai3



SO MR FEMI, if you can provide the requirements above, the cost of registration is almost negligible but should any one of them be found not in place, the nigerian factor comes in. the officials will ask you for outrageous amount, claiming paperwork.

They are very notorious during registration for external examination such as WAEC, NECO etc, you will have to bribe the officials, Zonal district officer, Ministry of education etc, but if you can have the facility, registration is mere paperwork and they will avoid you like plague.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
The cost actually varies across the different states but the requirements are somehow homogenous. most of the officials of the ministry of education hide behind lack of infrastructure to charge people extra fees. so i will dwell on the requirements.


Accreditation
The Federal Ministry of Education outlines the following stages in the accreditation process:
1. The proprietor/proprietress of the new school applies to the state government. On payment of an application fee, a form is issued alongside a copy of the minimum standards for the establishment of schools.

2. (i) the state authorities inspect the site;
(ii) If what is on ground is consistent with the guidelines, a provisional approval is given;
(iii) Where it is not consistent, the proprietor is advised to comply with or stop further development. Based on this, he/she can later ask for re-inspection.

3. Three years after the establishment of the school, officials of the FME carry out Recognition Inspection of the school. A letter of approval is then issued if the school meets all the guidelines. Subsequently, regular visits are to be conducted to the school.
School accreditation is a type of school self evaluation, a systematic and comprehensive evaluation to look out for areas of strengths and weaknesses of the school.

In Nigeria, the aspect of school accreditation has not been fully developed. In cases where it is done, it may be once in about five years or more.

In such occasions a team of officials from the inspectorate division of the ministry of education, a few selected principals and some head teachers are made to visit and inspect the schools in line with the spelt out guidelines.

However the reports of these panels rarely see the light of the day. If properly done, accreditation should bring about positive changes in a school system. Through accreditation schools receive external mark of quality, teachers engage in more meaningful teaching, students’ academic performance is raised and the whole school system is overhauled.

With the introduction of school based management committee into the Nigerian school system, it is expected that the concept of school self evaluation will be put into frequent practice.

confusion247: Yes his struggle is already in vain and his death is well deserved. You can't stand against some people fighting for freedom and just cause, then later after you helped the oppressor kill them in millions you now realized the value of freedom and self determination while the oppressor is still alive.
Saro wiwa should have known that the cup was used to measure for innocent Biafrans will also be used to measure for him and his people. As they took over biafran properties under the disguise of abandoned property policy, that is the same way their oil wells have been taken over under the name of hypocritical One Nigeria.
This is just the beginning by the time Jonathan goes out from aso rock, they will know the true and real meaning of hypocritical One Nigeria.
Gowon and his people can testify to that.

The rate of ignorance peddled on this forum is alarming!!

Gone were the days when posters outwit each other with facts and not hearsay, make-belief etc

Do you have access to the employment contract of an academic staff?

Have you seen or read through the 2009 agreement?

You have to get all the angles to make informed contributions and not rants laden with youthful exuberance and indolence!!

Even if they don't teach for ten years, the government will have to pay them!!
The employment contract entails them to do research and academics and they are on academic strike or have you seen any university under locks and keys!

Yes, the industrial action is affecting the students and not good for all concerned but the fault lies with the government and not ASUU!

And if you think otherwise, let's discuss facts .

Darkhorse007: have the mail, but no HR contact.

I have seen the mail!! Na inside Spam e go hide!!

All the best!!

Regards

@darkhorse and Co QAs, do you have the mail for function based test by consobrew? I received the sms but no mail, 24hrs to the test. Pls indicate if you have the mail and the HR contact.

Regards

Chuksaluta: Completed mine. Scored 83.63, do the practice question to get familiar with the questions.

The veterans have arrived!!

Senior applicants of nigeria (SAN)

Security don sabi dem for chamscity,


Fellow (dragnet)
Fellow (workforce) etc.

Ur co-SAN from nestle and Pwc!!

The lectures are on Academic/teaching strike and not total strike..

They will hide under the ''Research clause'' to get their salary. These guys are profs, real PHD holders and they know the rule.

They will claim to be supervising projects, research etc.

Even if ASUU embarks on strike for ten years, the government have to pay them. They are employed to teach and research...

And they still sign attendance even, the university employment Act toys with the labor law and makes mockery of it.

Another example is the compulsory sabbatical after 6 years of teaching....

The case of Unilorin 44, abi na 41 sef is still fresh!!

They get paid for working elsewhere with promotion as accrued over the long impasse!

The agreement states further....

b.)Each State University shall require three million, six hundred and eighty thousand and eighteen Naira
(N3,680,018) per student for the period 2009 –2011 as follows:
Year Amount (N)

2009 1,144,075
2010 1,205,880
2011 1,330,063
Total (approximated) 3,680,000

These amounts include Recurrent and Capital Grants, and are based mainly on the disaggregated returns from the universities.

4.2 SOURCES OF FUNDING
4.2.1 Federal and State Governments
The goal of this negotiation is to put Nigeria in a strong position to become a knowledgebased society that will be able to compete and survive in the 21 st Century.
To achieve this, the entire education system requires massive funding at all levels. While non-budgetary sources have a role to play, and there must be continuous efforts to identify and use them prudently, the major source of funding education for national development is through budgetary allocation from State and Federal Governments.
With this in view, the Re-negotiation Committee agreed to recommend to the relevant authorities that:
(a)A minimum of 26% of the annual budget of the State and Federal Governments be allocated to education;
(b)At least 50% of the budgeted 26% shall be allocated to the universities; and,
(c)The representation of the Federal Ministry of Education to the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission to put education on the “First Charge” be vigorously pursued.
(d)Being mindful of the processes for meeting this goal of 26% annual budgetary allocation to education as enunciated in the UNESCO benchmark, the Federal Government shall endeavour to progressively increase its budgetary allocation to the education sector in accordance with its vision 20:2020 programme.

4.2.2
Federal Government Assistance to States for Higher Education
It was agreed that the Federal Government should, as appropriate, provide general assistance both to the State Governments that are proprietors of universities and those that do not own universities but need assistance in the area of higher education, as allowed by the Nigerian Constitution (Section 164.1).

Let me pause here as you can peruse the terms of the agreement and adopt an informed view about the industrial action.

The questions are still begging for answers...

1) This agreement was signed by prof Onosode , pro-chancellor of unilag on behalf of the government and ASUU chairman, can the government claim ignorance of its financial obligation to this agreement while planning the budget?

2) If the country is not financially buoyant to foot this expenditure, what stops the minister of education from invoking the right of re-negotiation as provided in the agreement?

3) For the president to ask the reason for state uni to join the strike clearly smirks of his ignorance of the terms of this agreement.

4) Why did ASUU wait till 2013 to start this strike when they could have protested since the first installment ?

5) The NUC and representatives of ETF and PTDF on the boards were given the responsibility of notice and reminders to government, if na to donate 50million per university to bribe senators to increase allocation, that mumu NUC sec go sabi do?

SUMMARY

The government entered into an agreement out of ignorance or insincerity of honoring it!

We need a new, workable and practical agreement with all stake holders, a span of like 6 years and commitment by all the parties.

The minister of finance should be part of the committee to prevent another ''no money talk".

The students body should be joined as witness so that they are fully aware of the ineptitude of the government should they default.

And lastly, the president should be properly briefed on issues.

THE. CRUX OF THE MATTER

FUNDING

The Re-negotiation Committee, in order to arrive at the funding provisions stated below, took serious cognizance of the widely acknowledged fact that:

(i) The key to the survival of our country in the 21st Century lies in its ability
to produce applied and theoretical knowledge in science, technology and the humanities; and

(ii) The task of revitalizing and accelerating the development of the Nigerian University system to become internationally competitive can no longer be delayed, more so if Nigeria is to become a leading economy in the world within the next ten years or so as desired by the Government.

On the basis of the data collected, and their analysis through a rational and scientific procedure, the following funding requirements were projected for a quick and effective remedy of deficiencies in the programmes and facilities, and for a systematic upgrading of programmes and facilities that would rapidly advance Nigeria’s knowledge production for development. (The justification of the projected figures is i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊

Appendix I “Funding Requirements for Revitalizing the Nigerian University System: 2009 -2011).

4.1 Funding of Universities
It was agreed to recommend that:
a)All regular Federal Universities shall require the sum of one trillion, five hundred and eighteen billion, three hundred and thirty-one million, five hundred and fortyfive thousand, three hundred and four naira (N1,518,331,545,304) only for the period
2009 -2011 as follows:

Year Amount (N)
2009 472,031,575,919
2010 497,531,778,701
2011 548,768,190,681

Total 1, 518, 331, 545, 304

These are excerpts of the agreement between ASUU and federal government for a better understanding of the impasse.

Establishment of the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN)/Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Re-Negotiation Committee
On Thursday, 14th December, 2006, the then Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. (Mrs.) Obiageli Ezekwesili, on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN), inaugurated the FGN/ASUU Re-negotiation Committee comprising the FGN Re-negotiation Team led by the then

Pro-Chancellor, University of Ibadan, Deacon Gamaliel O. Onosode, OFR,

and the ASUU Re-negotiation Team led by the then President of ASUU, Dr. Abdullahi Sule-Kano.


TERMS OF REFERENCE
The single Term of Reference of the Committee was to re-negotiate the 2001 FGN/ASUU Agreement and enter into a workable Agreement. In the course of discussion, the Committee agreed that the essence of the Re-negotiation was:

(i) To reverse the decay in the University System, in order to reposition it for greater responsibilities in national development;
(ii) To reverse the brain drain, not only by enhancing the remuneration of academic staff, but also by disengaging them from the encumbrances of a unified civil service wage structure;
(iii) To restore Nigerian Universities, through immediate, massive and sustained financial intervention; and,
(iv) To ensure genuine university autonomy and academic freedom.

In this part of the world,

You can't become rich or wealthy and still keep the ten commandment!


Like my people say!!

Keferi la fi n bi omo, igbagbo la fi nwo!!

We use obscure means to get the child and use God's way to bring him up!!

Nigeria we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood we stand,

Nigerians all, and proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.
Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign,
In peace or battle honour'd,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.

O God of all creation,
Grant this our one request,
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed,
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.

I pray this prayer comes to fruition!!

This was the anthem nigerians recited with purpose and patriotism back then!

Even though ''Adolphus Hitler'' is getting on my nerves with his ''I don't know'' and everything is political', I still believe in this country and the sincerity of purpose of the founding fathers!!

Boko haram, corruption, bad infrastructure, other problems can't hold us down!we will squash them !! The nigerian spirit will make us rise above mediocrity!!

We are a great nation and will always be!!

Long live nigeria

gboss4sure: Is this the only thing you can make out of the interview? So he should say yes that shekau is dead while there has not been any confirmation so that if tommorow the idiot resurfaces you will still tag him a liar? Mr man you need omo to wash your brain. I voted for Goodluck in 2011 and am not regretting it, he has achieved more than any past presidents if you dare, mention any past president and their achievments and I will list down GEJ achievements for you since you are blind to see it. Come 2015 I will still vote for him again so you better join the winning and working team or remain a talkative and fault finder

Brother, I respect your opinion and the right to have them!!
I don't know you and can not ascertain your level of competence or education. But in all sincerity ( if it still exists in our minds),

If nigeria were to be your private coy and you appoint GEJ as the CEO and he gave you that type of briefing, will you have him fired or not!!

A leader should always KNOW, he should tell us the most unpleasant things with the cutest smiles to assuage our fears.


The sovereignty of a nation lies with the people and it is vested in the government! Our collective trust!! Please read the preamble of the constitution bro!! WE, the nigerian people!!

GEJ is a victim of his own incompetence. Blame everything and everyone but not himself.
That there is an association of unemployed graduates dwarfed any achievement you can concoct please.

And one thing about supporters of GEJ is that you resort to name callings, abusing folks that have divergent opinions!!

And my simple observation is that, most of pro-GEJ supporters are folks that can't really string up arguments, blinded by emotion and spurred by the inferior mentality of tribalism, ethnicity and mediocrity!

Like I said MOST not all!!

All truth passes through three
stages.

First, it is ridiculed.( Like you did with the omo stuff)

Second, it is violently opposed.(Asking me to mention presidents and ready with you counter claims while calling me talkative etc )

Third, it is accepted as being
self-evident. ( Asking me to join the winning team)
—
Arthur Schopenhauer, German
philosopher

Our PHD president quoted Adolphus hitler!!

How do you explain that to your kids!!

The president said.....

GEJ: When we were in US. Okonjo-Iwela told me
about a WHO report. The report asked people
what their greatest challenges in doing business
in Nigeria were? Corruption wasn't even number 1
on the list, it was number 3

Reporter: What was number 1 & 2 Mr. President?

GEJ: I don't know. When we leave here we will
have to ask the Coordinating Minister about that.

And he ends the chat thus..

Reporter: Thanks for having us
GEJ: Congratulations

The reporters stood up before the president bro.
They were laughing throughout the session..

I am more concerned at his lack of charisma, touche and intelligentsia!! A PHD holder!! Little wonder, a PG student of unilag used elementary physics to explain homosexuality!!

Like president, like citizens!!

ASUU strike is political, why is state uni on strike? From a former member!! # #‎i give up!!

A president once said

"Osama bin Laden is dead. Our special forces killed him this morning" - Obama.

And ours said

"I DON'T know whether Shekau (Boko Haram leader) is dead or alive -GEJ ( after budgeting billions as security votes)

GEJ will run in 2015.

Is in the dark about Boko Haram.

Does not think corruption is Nigeria's problem.

Needs Obama for validation.

Like someone once opined ...

Only 4 sets of people can vote for GEJ:

(1)those who are intellectually blind

(2) those who are blinded by ethnicity;

(3) those who are blinded
by corruption and therefore afraid of the unknown, should power change hands; and finally

(4) those who are suffering from a combination of the above terminal sicknesses.”


For those that voted for GEJ in 2011, God will forgive you as you have done this country a great harm!!

I am seething with anger right now! Those of us that criticized moyes before his appointment were called names!

The players are not ready to play for him, ferdinand. Can't even coordinate his defense line! The players are not aggressive and the ediot coach look so dumb at the line!!

And his prized jewel fellani can't just stay on side for once!!

Guys, let's face it, what keep Man utd going is the never-say-never spirit and I think fergie took it with him!!

There is nothing wrong with the defence line, its the same guys!! They just don't want to play for moyes!!



So much for keeping some foolish Scottish tradition at the expense of the fans!!

Travel is fatal to justice, bigotry and narrow mindedness and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all ones’s lifetime…..mark twain

The people’s hote[i][/i]l….well no such thing exists but the inhabitants of the mountains have bungalows that are used as hotels. The rates varies depending on howtastily furnished the lodge is, from 6000-15000, it has no fixed rate as you have to haggle it. It offers premium service of a 2 star hotel.

Attractions
Please take an early morning walk and appreciate nature and the wonders of creation. Due to the altitude, it appears as if the cloud is within grasp.
An early morning dip in the river from the fallwould really be soothing, extremely cold water, early in the morning. Don’t be surprised that at some location, particularly far east, the network changes from MTN NG to MTN CAM…yes cameroun.

The cattle ranch still boasts of very huge cattle and fresh milk are available at a diary behind the GTB ATM machine.( oops I forgot to mention, there is a GTB ATM planted at the mountain).


The canopy walk is a 100m swinging bridge suspended above the forest. It is 70m above forest level. A small feat if you have walked the kakum national park canopy ( 350m).


The water park is an ideal fun spot to take a dip, water slides and Jacuzzi feeling.

ARRIVAL AT THE RANCH
The reception at the ranch is heavily dressed with artwork and a ver imposing figure of a cattle head attached to the wall. It has a bar that welcomes visitor and sells a bottle of star for 600 naira. *** Altititudinal beer, beer on the moutain
