It means a lot of hard work to be a teacher in the UK. I have been there before. I started as a visiting lecturer, working with some colleges. I didn't feel much pressure then until I later took up a full time job of teaching two different subjects in a secondary school.

But the irony of this offer by UK Govt is that civil servants embarked on uncountable strikes in recent time.They were clamouring for pay rise to cushion the effect of high cost of living.
Many of their workers including qualified teachers could no longer cope with the economic realities so they quit working.
Looking at the mass exodus of workers the govt decided to engage the services of non residents.
Perhaps they know fully well that migrant workers will accept the pay threshold rejected by their working class citizens.
Recall they offered similar work opportunities for health career workers recently which led to exodus of our health providers.Nigeria qualified doctors and nurses were offered jobs in HC, HCAW,PSW,Social Work and care giver etc.Again this level of work was rejected by their qualified citizens in health field cos the annual salary threshold could not mitigate the high cost of living expenses.
My own submission tho on why they intend to outsource for teachers from 9 nations including Nigeria.

No no, because HND is not a teaching certificate.

Actually they don't require teaching cert but experience of at least two years, as they'll train you themselves. But I talked about HND cos they required first degree (Bsc). So I wasn't sure if they see both as same.

A system that tolerates or encourages such crass behaviour will definitely accept, encourage all sorts deviance in the name of wokeness and enlightenment.

And they'll call you ignorant for calling them out. They're only human in appearance but their minds are so messed up they think they are doing the world a favour being them.

And they'll excuse the behaviours of the unruly kids as wokeness abi undecided cry

Democracy where u call ur fellow human a monkey? Where the little ones abuse the black skinned or probably the adult teachers. Where young ones can't be cautioned? I see what you called a Democracy as a Demo-Crazy my dear.

Reference:


You went from an autocracy to a democracy and to you this is hell?

Africans are indeed emotionally unintelligent and poor organisers of workable societies. If they are not allowed to rule in feudal set ups they misfire. Is this the famed legacy of colonialism or what?

£2300 is not great pay but is good enough to lead a reasonable life and get a mortgage in many parts of UK
Would this £2,300 be before or after Tax.
I don’t see that amount being good enough to get a mortgage in inner London perhaps neighbouring towns like Milton Keynes,Hertfordshire.

@All,

Despite my cautionary notes earlier, I will not discourage anyone who is sufficiently broadminded and good at one of the shortage subjects from applying for the scheme.

There are many schools in the UK where student behaviour is not as challenging as described on this thread, and teaching is a rewarding profession too wink

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

I really doubt you're a teacher at all. If you, as a teacher can't read a simple article and comprehend what the writer is trying to say , I wonder the kind of knowledge you're impacting on your students.

It should be 1.9k after tax.

It's not great pay but it's definitely liveable.
It'd be difficult to get by with that in London. I'd rarely advise anyone new to the UK to settle in London except it gives you a comparatively better pay which is not the case for many.
Most folks would get better schools, less crime, better housing and social amenities e.t.c for same money in lots of lovely places outside London. For sure, London just like Newyork has it's perks and difficult to compare with in certain areas.

it's the typical train your child the way you want him/her to go situation, if the adults over the seas don't show the young ones how to grow and the need for good morals they will grow up with it and call it racism, something you won't find in a typical african kid. In Africa you imbibe the kids with the way and the teaching of the Lord not giving them reasons to reject good moral teachings.
