A private school called me for an interview last week Monday. As a job hunter I'm always prepared for any interviews. So when I got there, It's was a 3 segments interview (written test, oral and micro teaching)

As a Bsc graduate in Accounting Education, I was given financial accounting, English language and current affairs for the written test interview. The account and English was WAEC standard questions. After the written test interview, the principal said he will call me for further interviews if i pass the test.

On Thursday morning, I received a call from the school inviting me for further interviews which is oral and micro teaching. When I got there, the principal was asking me loads of questions like why should I hire you? How many years experience do you have? How do you discipline a child? how can you make this school grow? Can we trust you with our female students? bla bla bla... After that we went to the classroom for the final segment which was micro teaching.

After everything, he employed me and we started discussing about the subject I will teach and the salary. The principal said I will be teaching Accounting, Economics and Marketing (ss1 - ss3), I said no problem.

What really got me angry was about the salary, he said he's willing to pay me 30k without negotiation.

As if that wasn't enough, he later said he can also call me anytime to teach any subject if the particular subject teacher isn't around. I was just laughing in my mind.

The principal was expecting me to resume today, he has been calling me since morning, I haven't picked his calls. I'm not a slave.

Mind you, this is a standard private school and my "least" expectation was 45k, Assuming he was willing to pay 45k, I would have resumed today.

Why are private schools so wicked? Is teaching job now a modern day slavery? I'm tired of this country.

Sister, it's not my fault.

Main looking at the school, one would think they are paying their staffs well. My expectations were high because the school is well co-ordinated and that was the reason I applied for a teaching job at the school.

I'm certain that 45k would be the salary of H.O.D or any old staff in that school.

fullnetwork:
Can this salary cover his transport, feeding?
Leave medical, housing, and general welfare first. This thing dey vex me like this already.

Romanoff:
Depends on the location and other teaching certification you have.

I know teachers earning way above 300k monthly.

BLIVESHEALTH:
I have a better offer for you online i sent you a mail

Nazgul:
If you don't have any job you're currently doing I'll advice you to take the offer. With time you can approach parents to request for private lessons for the kids, that one pays more.

Most private schools are going through hell in this economy, and most parents can't even afford the ever increasing fees, and remember that they pay per term, whereras salary is per month. This means that whatever fees they collect from the students would be used to run the school for the next 3-4 months.

Now the problem here is that most students owe the school and refuse to pay, this would make the management look to alternatives means or even loans to pay you guys and run the school activities with hopes that when their student pays up within the month they can settle everything.... unfortunately in most cases this doesn't happen.

I have a relative that runs a primary school, who usually narrates her ordeal to me. There was a day she brought out her records and showed me debts of students over the years, I kid you not, those debts were running into millions. I really felt sorry for her.

Pos agent,bet9ja staffs, mouka foam low workers dae earn less down 25k a month and dem go close by 6pm and dem dae do am u see 30k u dae form. Geddifok

Romanoff:
How many years experience do you have?

You can use these small paying jobs to get experience. After that, the next job you'd get could be better.

I'm talking about UK certifications and all these montessori certifications.

This is gonna be lengthy cos I will be giving illustrations.

Firstly, your relative should try to improve the welfare of his staff. When teachers are treated nicely in terms of prompt payment of salaries and good welfare, they tend to be stucked.
1. Let your him give incentives in terms of payment of staff's kids fees 2. Let him introduce a cooperative society where he will be running with the staff and they will have access to loans of considerable interests. By doing this, it will be difficult for teachers to leave
Secondly, let him organize a PTA where he will discuss with parents on the kind payment that will be convenient for them. I once worked in a school that did such, some parents pay weekly and some pay monthly. What we did was to divide the ward(s) fee per week or month so the parents know the amount they are to pay and failure to meet up, we will advise you keep your child at home. We usually call parents weekly and monthly just to remind them and also 'pray' for them. At the end of that time, we recorded bad debt of about 50k. I knew this cos I was the cashier.
Thirdly, let him try everything possible to keep his staff cos parents don't appreciate schools where teachers are being replaced often,hence, my first point.
I worked in a school and was earning 24k. I was taking Maths, Agric and also was the cashier yet, it never cross my mind to seek greener pastures cos my boss was always there for us.
So, there you have it!
