Private School Teacher Reality by mosho2good(op): 5:17pm On Apr 18, 2025
I've been teaching in a private school for years now and it nothing to write home about concerning the pay and the staff being treated like a slave.
During the time of teaching I gathered money to continue my education at NOUN (National Open University of Nigeria) and graduated last year and since then I've been looking for another opportunity to leave the teaching line and I can't quit the one I'm currently doing since I haven't gotten another one and the work is getting worst day by day.
I'm currently searching and looking for a better opportunity and along the line I just bought a Laptop Lenovo Core i5 and looking for anyone that can be my mentor and teach me any tech skills and I'm willing to it.
My course of study is Information Technology (IT).
I'm a family with a wife and kids, it has not been easy with Nigeria economy.

@Op, I feel your pain. I can relate. Teaching is not for the weak, I resigned from my teaching job Jan this year even though I had nothing on ground cos it got to a point I was battling with my health so I had to leave to live. May God bless you with something better Amen

It's a great thing to learn a new skill, but keep in mind that going into tech doesn't guarantee better pay or an instant job. I'm a teacher, and I also learned data science. From my experience, don't assume that tech will automatically make you rich over time.

Your story resonate with most private school teachers. I have put in a gruelling 13 years in teaching at a private school and it has been 13years of working like an Elephant and eating like a ant. By God's grace we will prevail and our bitter experience will become a story of victory. Keep pushing!
