Congrats to all the teachers out there, especially the veterans on the occasion of World Teachers' Day.

As a greenhorn in the teaching profession, I can humbly attest to the fact that teaching is indeed a noble career.

Long Live Teachers!

Long Live Nigeria!!

Government should prioritize the training of teachers especially in-service training, their welfare should be improved.

All this long story.
The most important thing is that I am chilling at home. No work today...

Na u no wan work nah.

Happy Teacher's Day, Dyt and all our teachers.

For our professional teachers, please try and always update your knowledge. Yes, it should be subsidised but it isn't. So do the little you can. Sometimes, think amd teach outside the curriculum. Some of my favourite teachers would always do that.

Am a graduate of Petroleum Engineering and am a proud teacher... I teach cause I want the upcoming generation to know more than I do and no amount is worth my effort.

It is a pity that the DullardPoo who PROMISED change has been in power for almost two years but has been a DISAPPOINTMENT to everyone- pupils and teachers- in the education sector.
No surprise there since he does NOT value education for the MASSES as he is an illiterate himself.
What baffles me most is how the zombies who follow this LIAR, fraudster and crook expect the same person to fight any CORRUPTION when he is the epitome of corruption personified!

Am even in the school now teaching hmmmmmmmn, no joy

The problem with the teaching profession now is that many public school employee are now employed without merit. Imagine a PTA teacher who understand the nitty gritty of his job and yet abandon in the course of recruiting new teachers.

This is sheer injustice and the multiplier effect will devalue the standard of education as most newly employed teachers had not been well grounded before joining the profession

PTA teachers are those who should be automatically eligible for employment as they av shown selfless interest in lifting the standard of learning in spite of peanut they earn

Chartey:
Doctors are taught by doctors
Engineers by engineers
Lawyers by lawyers
Nurses by nurses
Mechanics by mechanics
Electricians by electricians.

Professionals are taught by senior professionals in their fields.

So who are professional teachers?

1.) Those who provide pupils with basic knowledge needed for subsequent training in whichever field they may eventually choose.

2.) Those who train those in 1.) above i.e lecturers in faculties of education and college of education tutors.

For the second category, they can also be considered as senior professionals training junior colleagues and their salaries reflect that.

For group 1, it's a bit different because
i.) Not much specialized training is needed to be an EFFECTIVE (not perfect) teacher at the basic and even sometimes senior secondary level. All that is needed is sound knowledge of the subject and that's why a mathematics graduate can teach secondary school math very well.

ii.) There are many willing hands available. Supply simply outstrips demand and that's why a university graduate will take a N12,000 salary teaching job and do it well.

These explain why teachers may not even never earn more than the other professionals you listed.
To my mother, my aunts and all the teachers who've poured their productive years into the profession despite meagre remuneration, I wish you all a HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY.

bless you
Simply put
What are teachers bringing to the table
Training crammers that cannot solve societies problems is why they are suffering
They have very little to offer
Why they are paid peanuts

seguno2:
The depreciation of teaching and teachers is because we don't value education. We value politicians who steal our money despite that we already allow them to pay themselves multiple millions for doing nothing.
