You Want Me To Teach Maths, Physics, Computer For ₦35k – Nigerian Teacher Cries by 24hrPrayer(op): 1:02pm On Jan 28, 2025

A Nigerian Teacher cry out on social media saying

You want me to teach Mathematics to SS1 and JS2 students, teach Physics to SS1 and SS2 students, and handle the computer lab for JS1 to SS3.

I must wear corporate from Monday to Thursday and wear native on Friday.

And they offered a whooping N35,000 as salary. 😪

In addition, you'll be automatic game master.

Teacher suffer alot in this country amid economy depression and high cost of living, yet salaries remain the same.

Netizens resonate with the user that some of them too pass through such hardship.

Govt should look into private school teacher’s renumeration and try to improve it.

Teaching in some private schools is terrible.

Sometimes, the principal would just draft you as the school bus captain.

You'll travel the entire town with the driver and make sure the kids are dropped in the custody of their guardians.

And e no follow for your salary ooo.

On a fast day, you'll get home by 7 PM.

And the principal would be like; "you're really doing well, at least you can add hardwork and dedication to your CV. We're just like a family here." 😂

All I see from these schools is that they don't have standards. If they did, they would have found a way to streamline these things. I saw one girl talk about exam questions. In this age of AI and tech, all you need is to have the syllabus or course outline and form questions there. Have a question bank where different questions will come from so that the teacher will also not know what kind of question will come out. That's what JAMB did and it's not that hard. Both essay and option questions will have like 20 and 300 respectively. The hardest part will be marking. The computer will do the options and the essay will have marking guide. That may be the hardest part of the whole thing. Marking is the hardest part of teaching but if you give a computer the largest part, you have reduced the errors that comes with a human being mistaking option C for D. The human being will only mark the essay part with the marking guide. Give another corps member that work to do. Let your school be attractive to undergraduates so that they can work for you during their breaks. If they do a shoddy job, it will affect their references in future. See how they work for free in 3 months during semester break. They win (experience on their resumes) and you win (cheap, efficient and innovative labour). Stop working like you are in the 19th century. Use technology to help you.

It's not as hard as we make it but if the administrators are not passionate about education, everything is business to them. It's hard but you can still make life easier for your staff. Hire an intern or NYSC staff to help you structure this thing. Let it be their 1 year project for you and you'll be amazed how far they lead you and your school. We like to complicate matters for ourselves, schools run on a cycle and some things are predictable as long as you put standards in place.

If you cannot afford at least N500k per term in this present economy, then you're better off homeschooling your child.

The days of the great teachers and pride in teaching are gone for good. Education 20 years ago was far more superior and affordable than they are today.

The problem here is the employees and job seekers… stop showing desperation while on interview. Give them conditions as per why you will work for them. Give them reasons and make them understand that you might currently not have a job but you are not going to be overworked and paid peanuts.

Once Nigerians seeking for employment stop appearing desperate and know their worths , no private sector owner will treat you like shits, and also give them clauses that must be respected, if they go against it , it attracts additional charges per hour calculated by the number of days the contract got breached and sign it before accepting the job offer.

Do this and watch how careful your employers treat you. This is something every employee and job seekers must do to negotiate at least the price of one student’s school fees as salary. You can’t be accepting 100k naira as salary whereas students in that school pays above 500k as school fees..

If you must accept 100k a month, just tell them you will be teaching one class only and it will be once a week, maximum of 3hours.

Once you give your employer your power through desperation, even his dog becomes more valuable than you.

I built my self to where I am today, I don’t work for anyone, I told myself after seeing how employers treat their staffs that I won’t work for anyone while I was in Nigeria.

You people should rest with nonsense content on twitter. undecided

Unless you're doing your national service as a corper then Three things are involved:

1.You're a very wack maths teacher, like you're irredeemable and weak at numbers.
2. You're creating content for some Elon Twitter coins
3. You don't know your self worth.

Number two is the most likely. Make Una rest abeg. smfh

Standardization across board is what is lacking here. I know of someone who teaches english to SS1-SS3 and gets paid 25k presently. I'm this economy o. And this is someone who already has a master's degree.

I can't understand how people cope on such meagre salaries. That's not living. That's merely existing. Even 100k in this economy is nothing.

Any graduate that's teaching in a private school with pay less than 100k is just wasting his/her time and energy. Before you understand what's going on, you are close to 50 years then they will discard you with young blood. Instead of teaching in a private school, kindly find a tutorial college where they can pay you 1.5k per hour. They are plenty everywhere especially when jamb and waec are approaching. Teaching in a private secondary school is a pure slavery.

The issue is that job seekers often act too desperate during interviews. Instead, set your terms! Let them know you’re not just there to be overworked and underpaid. Explain your value and make it clear you won’t accept peanuts for hard work. Stand your ground—you’re not just any hire; you deserve respect and fair pay.
