Your problem! your frustration! I give no shit! just don't come here you still would not fit in! regardless where you were born, it is clear you wouldn't survive 2 weeks still.

HaHaHa! Talk about frustration...look in the mirror and you'd see a frustrated soul. I do not give a damn about you or your place of birth. I am sure I was born and I live in a more prosperous country than you could ever imagine. So, what the 4uck do I need to visit your barren land for? There are better countries to visit in Europe than your desolate and Gawd-forsaken, awful UK.

sukkot:
forget that thing oooo. teachers collect hot slaps from students in normal and grammar and private schools. and quite frankly as a black person nobody is hiring you into private or grammar schools anyway. you are going to state schools were young jamaican thugs will be slapping you everyday

dejol88:
Okay, 28k per annum is quite small irrespective of where you live currently in the UK . I got a place in the north east around 190k for 3bedroom semi detached. And I and my wife had to do joint application else it will be denied.

No body is saying it is big, it is decent considering the median income of the country. But alleging that Government Teachers in Nigeria are doing better than £28k income earners is a blatant lie.

Bro my aunt who was a director for over 25 years for one of the biggest care homes in the UK as a nurse lost her job just because she advised one of her staff who is a bit fat to be careful of where he goes to because of covid cos if he has the virus, he might struggle with it as WHO has said people on the big side may struggle with it. Omo like play like play he reported and she was even grateful to God she didn't loose her nursing license. She left with nothing after 25 years of service. She wan run mad after that case.

Complain till tomorrow, If u get chance ; pls, leave Nigeria.

What I hear you anti flogging people say is that it is ok for kids to disrespect and be unruly when you don't have this social control skills... You are saying they should grow up being allowed to disrespect those adults who cannot outsmart them. And of course not all adults will be able to.. Is that a reasonable system?

WriterX:
Actually I think this is where I belong lol, I have been teaching for years now did it in my uni even in my secondary level, came from a teaching background, I don't believe in flogging kids and all that and believe me I have taught and tutored, mentored some kids you would ask why they are not flogged lol

you just have to learn how to outsmart them young folks, I am currently at a school where we practice the preventive measure or style of education and I can say I have excelled here, patience, wisdom and a damn good manner of approach, keep your private life outside the four walls of the school, your mental health is key, kids will really f**k you up if you give them chance , you have to make sure you are the alpha when you step in that class yet lenient and understanding as a friend.

Your comments are pointless. I was minding my own business and commented on an article by a teacher from Zimbabwe about her experience as a teacher in the UK. My response to the article had absolutely NO bearing on you or any other person residing in the UK. But being the idiot that you're, you have to show off as if to tell folks that you're the only person living in the UK. Listen, if you're bereft of intelligence and can't get involved in an adult conversation, stay off my lane. Peace out!

Dad, I am being abused by my husband. He beats me and abuses me emotionally.
You: I will only take you seriously if you file for divorce.

Meaning, if she does not file for divorce, she is not being abused. That is how you sound when you minimize the suffering or discount people's experiences. It is so sad. It is best sometimes to just read and not comment.

So what is the beef? You don't like the UK, i said, don't come we don't want you and you became angry. calling me names and making obnoxious remarks. You said i will live and die in the UK i also agreed, you said you live and was born in more posperous and civilised country, i agreed and adviced you not to come to the UK but you were still angry i mean, i fail to understand your anger and hate for the UK. Did they refuse you entry?

I said, don't come and you are angered even more cursing at me and more name calling. Fine! Come to the UK you are wellcomed.. jeeeeez! Madness or what?

I think you would find that this is a public forum everyone is allowed to comment or respond to comments, especially if you are disrespecting my country.

Fine! Come! come to the UK! you are still name calling, mate! I can take your insults and name callings it doesn't bother me.

I was born in the UK nothing can change that, i don't know why that would make you angry or why you would see that as a show off afterall you live and was born in a more prosperous better country than the UK . why would you be so angered co's i told you not to come to the UK you hate so much? I don't get it.

pocohantas:

But Africans talk too loudly sha. Especially Nigerians. You won’t know because you are used to it. It gives me sleepless nights too.

Hi Poco, i was able to register on Upwork. Can you please give me tips on how to be a successful freelancer? I'm mostly doing email copyright or is it copywriting?

My advice is that anyone wants to go should do, regardless of the condition there, people here are far more mean, disrespectful, all manner of havoc are built-in them, what Blackman do is cover up/ fake smile they are bad too.

Don't mind them! they cannot even fix there own failed country to the level of UK.. thousands of africans and nigerians are still linning up at the UK consulate seeking, begging and paying so much money to obtain UK visas, some are even fasting and praying over it.

Let me reiterate it one more time in case you did not get it...I do not give a rat a$$ where you were born or live. I made my comment about the UK, which I have every right to make. But out of all the people on this platform, you felt aggrieved judging by your mindless comment and as always, you proceeded to add that you were born in the UK as if I give a damn about you or where you were born. Please, do NOT come at me with that "I am a victim" mentality. Must you chime in on my comment? Absolutely NOT! So, why on this God's green earth would you put your two cents into a conversation that has nothing to do with you other than you see that as an opportunity to brag to Nairalanders that you live in the UK? Just go ahead on mister!

Why is the UK always in need of professionals from other countries? What happened to their own people?

chloedogie:
Bro it's amazing. One of the main problems is parents are busy and they leave those kids to the mercy of thr Internet which is filled with crazy stuffs. Then allowing them to roam around aimlessly opens them up to shits.

Most of the reasonable unmarried ones will tell you they are not going to have kids cos of the rwzy stuffs they see the little ones do. They dread having them.
One of the coolest works you can do and make easy clean money in thr UK is child minding. They pay a fortune for someone to come and sit with them.

But ensure cctv is placed in thr House for your backup incase something goes wrong.

MOST of our parents in nigeria who i advised against sending their unstable kids to uk tot i was jealous and mad.. fastforward to few years ,come and see rotten children . returned back (including d ones that chosed not to against their parents wish).messed up kids,lots of the parents regretted that action.the bad influence no be here o!

Blissguts:
With these, do I need a bank balance to be accepted for the teachers enrollment visa by UK ?

Thanks in advance. Wanted to know the required.

I have HND too, but with two year plus teaching experience.

No no, because HND is not a teaching certificate.

Ayosman1:
Please, Can a degree in Religious studies, B.Arts apply.
O'level NECO
I have been in the teaching profession for years with enough experience
Thanks

You need to get PGDE

jchioma:
Thanks for the heads-up. The issue is that if they are born over there, do we need to relocate them back to Nigeria?

IF THEY were,them,thats another ball game.if they are young,bring them back and get fixed in some of our best schools with some fair level of cultural discipline.once they begin to drink into our culture, they start getting humble.though, they will revolt small o, but as our naija parents that we are,u must stand your ground o!no sentiments and emotion,just be straightand carin.they will gradually come around.but if they be grown up!hmmm,the parents some level of patience ,skills,and wisdom to be able to handle those.i be counsellor,that one needs consultation fee!

ecolime:
You are the one talking rubbish. What's your NET & disposable income from the £2,300?

How are you able to afford a mortgage with that peanut?

You think everyone on NL is an ignorant poor man like you

£2300 is not great pay but is good enough to lead a reasonable life and get a mortgage in many parts of UK

Emilo:
The kids will always test your confidence and temperament. It is left for you to show them you cannot be intimidated. Once they know this, you will see that you become their best friend. But you must be tested and certified street wise with good English.

You cannot be timid on your first day, first day, first impression matters the most.

I remember when i went to teach in a private expensive school in Okota back in 2005. On my first day, the kids wanted to test me, na me end up shaking them, my sound knowledge of Biology and social knowledge free style intimidate them. The next day they all wanted to be my friend. The principal called me into his office and said what did i do or tell the kids. That they are all spoilt kids who always intimated their teachers. Till i left the school and to date some of the kids are still my friend.

Once you know what the kids like and speak in their language, it becomes easy. How can you go and teach kids when you don't even know about Disney Snow white or Cinderella or a bit of popular movies, actors, musicians etc., It just wont work.

You have said it all. Teachers with this level of knowledge are quite limited. Hence, the learners measure their knowledge with what you mentioned above and gauge the teachers based on this.

You are still angry at me for stating that i was born in the UK, fine! i wasn't born in UK, i was born in Togo! the poorest part of Ghana, It is okay for you to make comments like " you can live and die in UK, but i cannot respond with i was born in the UK and i will die here.. So the beef is that i mentioned my birth place? I see..

You say you don't give a rat ass (spell it correctly) about my birth place but you are sill refering to it. Again, your initial comment or conversation doesn't have to have anything to do with me before i respond, again, i remind you, this is a public forum! I have the right also just like you, to comment and also respond to comments regardless if it has anything to do with me or not. That is how it kinda works on here, for some reason you have chosen to take my comments personal just because i mentioned my birth place.

Me? victim? this is the first I am being described as a victim believe it or not i don't take any comments on here serious.

I never felt aggrieved, my first response to your comment was "Don't come to the UK we don't want you" after rubbished the UK it was not an insult or derogatory. It was just a subtle advice to an individual who believes that the UK isn't a place worth living in. Though alot of people on here disagree.

Fine! you are right, i am wrong.


Be lucky!

U can't discourage me, the portal will open on February 1st and I will apply.

This epistle is to discourage those of us in teaching profession. It's now the turn of we teachers to travel out, medical doctors and other professionals are moving out for better pay. AWA LOKAN

Pls what are the prerequisite?

Joyfulgal:
Pls what are the prerequisite?

U must be a degree holder; it doesn't necessarily mean an education major.

Other requirements will be highlighted by February 1st

Thanks I really appreciate
Yes I have PGDE
One thing I need to know, it was stated in the publication what they need is QTS qualified teachers status, which is awarded by TRA, Teachers Regulation Agency.
But someone here said applicants will be made to write English test, don't know how true is that?

Nwanna2588:
You need to get PGDE

dollarnaira:
You need trcn to apply

not at all, they rather expect you to get QTS by applying for full professional qualification assessment.

Its a job with all due respect, a job with its terms and conditions, terms and conditions we all were made aware of and why we think you have to flog a kid to make them listen or respect you is just lazy disciplining in the words of my father.

What you don't understand about the teaching profession is that its a profession that is supposed to help you grow and learn as you go on, there have to be better ways to do things don't you agree?
I discipline my kids, you won't believe it but the kids get scared of some of the most laughable and harmless stuff I call punishment, we as teachers have to show these kids there is a better way to do this things.
Lol and I am not anti-flogging nor am I aware there is an anti-flogging group , I just think we can do better at discipline, just because flogging works doesn't make it a better means of disciplining a child nor the best if you really want that child to learn.

Thanks.

Mister, STOP chasing your tail. I made it clear from the beginning that I do not care to visit the UK even if I was paid to. So, why the heck do you keep repeating for the umpteenth time for me NOT to come, or do you enjoy listening to yourself blabbing? Yes, a lot of people might have a different opinion about the UK, which is all well and good. However, none of them was dumb enough to express a nasty disposition as you did..."Don't come to the UK we don't want you." As if to say that you and only you have the key to the gate going into the UK. To announce on this platform without prompting that you were born in the UK is juvenile and uncalled for. And I can assure you that people are not moved or impressed that you or any other person is born in the Uk. Furthermore, I do NOT need to take a piece of advice from a vacuous individual who is bereft of circumspection.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A TEACHER IN THE UK?

Being a teacher in the UK is a horrible experience — it is a taste of hell.
I was a teacher in Zimbabwe for over 10 years.

I loved my work; I remember assemblies where children would greet us in chorus.
I was proud to be a teacher.

Our students would salute and greet us on the streets, showing us respect.
A misbehaving pupil would hide, show remorse on being found out.

The day I left for the UK, I was excited and convinced that I would make an impact as a teacher in the land of the Queen.

According to Mhofu from Luton, teaching in the UK is no walk in the park.
Mhofu: “You know, if it wasn’t for teaching, I probably wouldn’t have travelled as much as I did. It was the teaching that got me around the world. But here in the UK, I got a rude awakening.

I got a teaching job at a school in Luton which was touted to be one of the best schools. I was grateful and overjoyed. On my first day in class the children looked at me as if they were seeing a ghost. One child raised his hand and said to me: ‘Are you an idiot’.
I was shocked; I was a teacher.

I looked at the child and wanted to hit him but I had been warned never to touch a child or I would die in prison. I pretended I had not heard the child then I heard another say: ‘Hey, are you deaf?’ I was so angry and I walked out to make a complaint to the teacher-in -charge. As I stepped out, the classroom broke into uncontrollable laughter. I had never been insulted by a child and let alone a white one. I was so angry l started shaking.

I walked into the teacher-in-charge’s office. He looked at me and said go and control your class first. I walked back in the class and everything that followed made me sick to my gut. I just had to leave the classroom as l did not trust myself not to take my typical ‘teacher action’ against these wayward children. I went home.

I got a call from the school which informed me that I had been fired because I had no confidence and skills of dealing with children.
I then got another job as a teacher. This time, I was called a ‘supply teacher’ who is equivalent to a temporary teacher. The only difference is a supply teacher is a qualified teacher.

I arrived at the school, this time determined to bring some order. As I walked into the classroom, I saw, on the green board, an offensive statement. It was a question: ‘What’s the difference between a monkey and a blackman?’

Just below it was an answer: ‘At least a monkey can climb trees.’ When I asked who wrote that in a very angry voice, the class remained silent.

I turned to the board to rub the offending statement. When I was done and turned to the class, I saw my bag fly out of the window.
I got angry and shouted at the class. The head-teacher and a few other teachers rushed to the class. The pupils all rushed to one corner and on seeing the headmaster, they started screaming.

The headmaster, in front of the children told me I was intimidating the kids and making the learning environment a war zone. I told him they had thrown my bag out of the window and had written racist remarks on the board.

The head-teacher said he could see nothing on the board and the kids shouted that they had thrown it out after I had tried to hit them with it. I was asked to go home and reflect on my teaching skills.

The classroom is controlled by children; you must do what they want and you must not dictate to them. The head takes the word of the child against yours. Now I am working towards extracting myself from a career I was passionate about and I ask myself why?

Those who are thinking of teaching here must brace themselves for a torrid time.” According to Paul Taruvinga: I had my interview with a teaching agency in the UK before I finished University.

I was accepted and so when I arrived in London in 2003 on my UK working holiday visa, I was ready to start my teaching career in Hackney, East London, an area I was soon to discover to be one of London’s most challenging.

I wasn’t quite ready to settle into a full time job so I went straight for the supply (casual, substitute) teaching. This meant I was running all over the East End, going to different schools every day. It was a great way for me to get to know the city.

It was also a fantastic way for me to learn how to be an adaptable teacher – different students, different classes every day.

One day I was called to the headmaster’s office; I was informed that a child had complained that I speak so loud that the child is now having sleepless nights. I was asked to lower my voice or I would be sued if the child went deaf.

I am not a loud speaker; I was shocked. I could not answer. Then one day I was accused of sexual abuse. I was alleged to have touched a girl-child on the shoulder. I was told any form of touching was abuse. I was suspended.

After three months of no pay, I was reinstated. I now hate teaching with a passion.”

John Dickson: “l was reprimanded for calling a child ‘my son’. When I came to school the following day there was a fuming parent who said to me: ‘Hey, my son has a father at this school now!’

I said I didn’t know about that and then she accused me of calling him ‘my son’ the previous day in class. I went numb.

She went to the head and I was seriously admonished.” The culture here is so strange. There is nothing like stopping students from throwing chairs at each other. The schools here are a complete opposite of the schools back home. Teaching is a nightmare here.
It is the most stressful job in the UK.

Copied!

Chairman, not every part of the world share the ideology of Nigeria .For those that can tolerate their excesses, bear the insult and make your money.
