Shortage of public schools teachers in Osun state is not as a result of poor salary but short sightedness of the government.

Thousands of graduates are ready to work in the state civil service if given the opportunity

This is mostly common in the rural areas

Oga calm down now

NO now it's not fair. These schools are making money but to bring out money and pay their teachers well is a problem.

Teaching is not an easy task and these school owners can not teach if worse comes to worse.

For us partimers that teach the whole school from kg to secondary, I know the challenge we face every day teaching them how to read from sound blends, to word building to sentence formation and reading and comprehending English passages, at the end of the day the school takes credit for our job and they still find it difficult to appraise the teachers.

All the children I taught in kg are now in secondary school and can read courtesy my subject from the scratch. Some have even finished secondary school. If not for us, will they be able to attain such academic heights?

There's a school in kano, they have just three permanent teachers in the secondary section. The rest are corp members. Teacher's Salary less than 30k.

Lol. I can actually relate bro, every bit you wrote up there are what makes it difficult for schools especially private one to recruit good teachers these days... But teaching is a profession, by the time you spend certain years teaching, you would have developed a kind of passion for it. Just that the passion will not last if due reward is not forthcoming.


I am a teacher by virtue of Nigeria situation but av developed a good passion over the years. I presently head a school and I do find it difficult to down pay new staffs while holding oral interview with them, but I have a seemingly limited liberty to diversify, or upgrade the pay beyond our pay slips because I'm answerable to my Oga too. You know people decide to manage what they could lay their hands on when the desires are out of reach. I'm afraid the next crop of generations might find it difficult to have a qualitative primary education, because struggling schools will definitely find it difficult to get good teachers into their schools.

Yes, my passion for the teaching and experience over the years which has made the job a lot easier are my driving force plus the fact that I work on part time bases and on my own terms are all the reasons I'm still in this profession otherwise I would have dropped it.

Something happened recently in one of my schools. A guy that teaches the secondary section physics and science with one other subject was shortpaid because he came late a few times. He got angry and left. The school started calling and begging him. The guy said he's only going to come back on part time bases and gave them his terms and conditions. They accepted and he resumed back last week. That was how a full time teacher became a part timer overnight.

Teachers are really revolting.

😂 😂 This is like one of the law of economics that says: "The higher the demand the lower the quantity available" . Do you think the school would have to persuade him if all is well? . I like how the guy leveraged on the situation to get what he wanted.

for where? 😂.

I'm telling you. The exploitation was just too much meanwhile they didn't know he would leave. They thought he would continue begging like his life depends on the job.

How would d number of out-of-school-children not increase when d students of public schools is paying btwn N7k-N9k per term, under a govt dt claim they're still doing free Education.

If truly govt wants to address this issue, it should stop allow schools collect PTA levies & other frivolous charges such as unified promotion exam levy about N3,500. make everything totally free while d govt takes over paying PTA teachers thru Imole Teaching corps.

Vinnie2000:
Shortage of Teachers is Rampant, in several States, not only Osun!.

A Friend of Mine who Teaches, says His School cannot find Teachers to employ again.

That they now Rely on Youth corpers.

Youth Corpers killed teaching in Osun State, unfortunately.

The fact the government gets thousands of cheap corpers they stick in schools every year has meant teachers haven't been hired or paid properly and left the profession.

It's why I'd love the enslavement of labour called Youth Corps to be abolished or at least redesigned.

Allow Adeleke do his job, all these useless distractions are not needed

This man has not done anything significant. Na only arrears he Dey pay, and it’s not all sef. Every sector in osun state is down. Our security sector's security trucks are in poor condition; the majority were purchased during Aregbesola's first term.
