You know what I hate about Nigeria schools? They charge parents excessively and pay teachers peanuts!

Imagine paying Basic Tuition of N350,000 (they are other expenses- books, clubs etc) and you pay teachers N30,000 monthly.

Its just wrong! Can't teachers do something?

We have teachers association or Union, right? Can't they protest to be paid fairly?

While I do understand these are private schools and the salaries are based on the proprietress or board of trustees discretion I still find it absurd!

There should be a minimum wage for this. It shouldn't just be acceptable because "its my school and that's what I will pay".

The impact of teachers CANNOT be underestimated.

What can be done?

Can we tag ministry of education? Do you know their handle? Please tag them!

Thanks.
