If anyone likes, let him or her kick against the OP.

Such can go and teach in Nigerian private school

For someone like me that did a fair job of teaching and going far to see my learners excel without cheating, I know it's a slavery and pathway to penury. I got grey hair even when my elders havnt gotten a single strand. Na forget o

If you find your way there, let it be for a session. Do your best to find a trade. It pays better in Nigeria now

But if the govt is able to reform the policies binding private schools welfare, it could become advisable to go in if one has the passion

My kids go to private schools and compared to the public schools around these schools offer quality holistic education. Some of the teachers have been there for a decade and over positioning themselves as models of quality professionals.

Malagans:
I got frustrated while teaching in private schools for years.

I would trek to and back from sch everyday, I was a chronic debtor, my landlord Wahala, parents of my students, family pressure, etc . All these made me start developing grey hair at a very young age

Ayobeck:
I realized about this post, The OP was just sacked or be insulted by the school owner.. all i read is not true

LordBiden:
And when you finish discouraging them about private school jobs who do you want to be teaching your kids?

Maybe aliens from mars would come and teach them.

You should be teaching them creative ways of earning as a teacher like doing extra lessons for wealthy families, online teaching jobs that pays in dollars as side hustle.

Melagros:
COMRADES, though, I've never taught in life but some Nairalanders stated here that working/ teaching in Nigerian private schools is modern day slavery. But I don't know the motivation behind this article

This post is a mirror held up to thousands of Nigerian graduates. Look into it and see your future if you stay.

Private school teaching is not a career. It is a holding cell. You are not building; you are waiting. You are not growing; you are surviving. And survival is not living.

The blackpill knows: The owners will not save you. The parents will not save you. The government will not save you. Only you can save you.

Learn a skill. Any skill. Save every kobo you can. Use your nights and weekends to build an exit. And when you have enough, leave. Do not look back. Do not wait for a farewell party. Just go.

Because 10 years from now, if you are still in that private school, you will be older, more tired, and exactly the same. And the only person to blame will be the one in the mirror

Not all private school please. Some private school teachers earn more than bankers.

1.Your progress or your growth is on you ...not the proprietor. If he's interested in your growth it is for his benefit ...not yours.

2. You should figure out your career path and work towards it. As in opening your own school. Keep your creativ ideas to yourself. ..establish a reputation at the school ... so when you're ready to start your own ... it will be easy to lure pupils.

3.If you follow 2 ... 3 cannot happen.

4. The school set the behaviour standard of the pupils. Bad behaviour ... it's on the school. Children are not disciplined because of f ar the parent may pull the child and that would be less money. The bottom line of such chools is money over everything ...number of pupils is all that matter....whether they behave or learn doesn't matter.

5. As a teacher you have a better chance to meet the people you want to meet . Parents are in all walks of life and you can make connections through them. Emeka's father is a Bank manager .. and you want to get into banking ...do you apply for a job like thousands of others?...or you connect through the father?

Ashirioluwa:
In my view, @Rapmoney does not appear to be discouraging graduates from teaching in private schools. Instead, he is suggesting that anyone who is teaching in a private school should not remain there for an extended period if they wish to advance in their careers and improve their financial situation.

Esthered:
Do you mean they earn more than core staffs or contract staff?

Please Llst 5 schools that pays their staff better than an ET (the least grade in banking) in Access bank.

Yustash001:
Now watch how people who don't have any experience teaching in a private school will come for the OP's head.

I've been in the system for more than 5 years now and I can testify that all the points raised by the OP are valid..

Rapmoney:
I worked in private schools years ago, and i left on my own when i saw that teaching in private schools is slavery. Most of you jump into threads to make comments before thinking. Oga, I can conveniently place you on a salary for a whole year, and I would still have enough to invest in my projects.

During the mandatory NYSC year, I was posted to a boarding house up north with no pay and someone like me who was coming from Makoko I had to think faster and find way of making extra bucks, I was friendly in the local assembly where I worship and the clergyman kind of liked me this makes the creating awareness for extra lesson easy for me.

As time goes on, I had two other PPAs where I hustle as a part time teacher and not as a full time classroom teacher, the pay wasn't something to write home about but at least it keep my body and soul together and that was my first and last experience as a school teacher.

Life goes on now.

BATified2023:
private school teaching is modern day slavery, it pays to b home than do it.

I was there for two years n after two years I didn't have 20k to buy a good phone, that was year 2017.

Aside that, I was oweing all the loan apps in Nigeria.


Imagine been paid 35k then n I have to transport myself to work everyday, mind u na me b d highest paid ooo n d most annoying thing is that it won't give u chance to job hunt n think outside d box

I left without looking back n thank God today what I make everyday today is same as what I made as a teacher in 2017.

Note some teachers we taught together then are still in that same school till today
