I met my government class teacher somewhere in ikeja few months ago.. about 18yrs since I left secondary school.. he was trekking with a bell.. man Neva change. He was a gospel preacher . I called him and he couldn't recognise me.. until I made him remember everything way back. He almost cried.. Thanks to hubby. He's now working as a manager in a factory with good pay. I always smile at life and everything it offers
Wow... That's nice of you and your hubby.

But then, if we continue to pull out teachers from school just to make their life better, who will now remain to teach the younger generation.

Continued...

Now what am thinking is....

Let govt officially create a career path for teachers/lecturers. Even though some of them are already doing it. But let it be official now.

Let govt and teachers council and NUC make it mandatory that lecturers should only be employed from secondary school teachers and secondary school teachers should only be employed from primary and nursery school teachers.

This is how it will work.

Let's say a graduate(BSc, B.Ed, NCE) starts his or her teaching career as a primary or nursery school teacher. From there the teacher aquires more qualification and progress to secondary. Then from secondary, the teacher probably gets a master's or more degree, then during recruitment of lecturer whether private or public, the candidates that will apply are those who are secondary school teachers with the necessary qualifications.

If the university is looking for professionals from industries, let those set of lecturer be visiting lecturers.
You know why you felt that way, your salary and current status is way better than your teacher. What you proffer cannot work because you have to earn certain degree before you can become a lecturer. Therefore, if the teacher want to become a lecturer, he needs acquire the necessary degree.

On the status of the teacher, most of us feel the same way but what I have realised is that the way our country is structured, it relegate some profession, teaching inclusive. Also, hourly payment has shown to be a better way to put all professions on the same grade which is herculean for us in Africa. Is there a way forward? Until those at the helms of affairs feel the pulse of the downtrodden, we would continue to complain. Also,recognise professionals in every field.

That is what am saying. Some of the teachers are already doing it. Some who have degree cert do go for masters and then doctorate as they continue to apply for lecturing jobs.

Now what am after is that let govt make it official that all lecturers must be sourced from secondary school teachers.

That way you will see more teachers going for degree courses, more teachers will brush up their Credentials so as to meet the requirements of lecturing jobs.

This will encourage continues growth and more people will join teaching jobs since they are seeing that the career path is juicy at the end.

Well I earn less than 15 thousand, teaching 3 subjects in three different classes and some other added general subjects in my main class (primary school)

The amount been paid to teachers is another topic to discuss in its own. My own is, let there be a clear path to career growth.

If my passion is teaching, and I decided to be teaching for the rest of my life, at least let there be growth. This will encourage me to do more.

If am earning 15k now and I know that within 2-5 years, I might have improved my self to get a lecturing job. That's enough encouragement to give in my best.

But all these private schools paying peanuts to teachers, does it mean that they don't make much profit from the school.

What you are saying is contrary to why I opened this topic. Probably you need to reread it again to fully understand me.

Well, it happened during by youth service at Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo. The then provost, provided an opportunity for teachers with Masters in the College secondary school to apply for lecturing job. Some I now have completed their PhD while some are about to.

When you put the right peg in the right hole, the squares will be fixed. Leadership is key..!!!

Our system is just too bad my dear.. though this is naija. No amount is too much for a salary. Minimum wage also doesn't work on private sectors

This is the best way to go. Virtually every state in Nigeria have at least 2 universities, 2 polys and college of Education. If the govt picks lecturers from Secondary school teachers, teaching jobs will be attracting the best hands as everyone will be seeing the growth in the job.

someone once said this your point, but I told him to forgive and move on, the beatings didn't kill us. May God continue to bless my secondary school mate, who use to send me money,may he not die young. I call him Fizzy, Fizzy will never go broke,he shall live long in good health. He put smile on my face when I least expect.

u think it’s that easy

I was once a teacher during my service year, see ehn students will not pay for any tutorial n as per private lesson how much u wan see

U want someone who his money dey finish before 20th of d month to write book?

With which money?
One year PPA teaching and 30 yrs career no be same thing. Those services aren't restricted to the school he works alone. He should have more connections after 10 yrs if he's really good.
My primary 4 class teacher became my private home teacher at some point my Dad employed him in his firm and he quit teaching.



Oga let’s all agree teaching is modern slavery
