Golan007: Because of money you want to endanger the lives of people.
Relax man. Read closely. They are not insisting schools should open...ideally workers in these sectors should be compensated. That's what a reasonable government that ask workers to stay home for 3 months without providing an alternative source of income should do 2 Likes |

@Ajelekoko76, the union has to look inwards first. Hold the school's greedy proprietors accountable first before coming for the Govt.
The school one of my grands attend collects over 300K(Pre school)per term as school fees but pay the main teacher less than 70K. In a class you have an average of 15 students, a teacher and 2 assistants.
A parent pays 1.2M plus for a 2 years old per annum but the main teacher takes home less than 1M per annum. Its not the parents fault if they are hungry now, is it? 2 Likes |

There is no doubt that there are genuine reasons why schools should be closed in Nigeria. In fact, I agree with many of the arguments that people have made to defend this. However, there are many factors that must be considered before we conclude the matter. I'll just itemise them:
1. Covid-19 has no cure or vaccine and even if one comes up tomorrow, it'll realistically take more than 3 years to reach up to 30% of the Nigerian population. Corona is here to stay. There's no future utopia where the virus magically disappears. It won't go away next year so postponing resumption of schools means postponing the inevitable. In fact, by next year, for instance, the cases may be in the millions in Nigeria. Will schools be closed forever? Or you think our insensitive government will perform some magic?
2. Social distancing doesn't work in Nigeria. I don't know about your location but in mine, people go about their normal lives and there's nothing anyone can do about it. The children are still playing with their mates every day. Parents go to work and markets and may likely import the virus to their homes.
3. Children still go to churches or mosques (which are open in most places). Religious and social gatherings are known super spreaders of the virus.
4. So far, children are nowhere near vulnerable as far as Covid-19 is concerned. While this argument can be upended, it is a strong factor nonetheless. Children are not so much in danger as their teachers and the teachers are mature enough to protect themselves adequately.
5. Students in public schools in remote and riverine areas are struggling and therefore may face certain learning challenges if they stay out of school for too long. Many may lose interest in schools altogether. I have been to these places and I know how averse they are to education. Many simply go to school because their mates are going. Should they stay home for long periods, they may likely never resume whenever schools open (which, going by the logic of some concerns, can take more than 2 years).
6. Private school teachers have not been paid for months because, unlike the public sector, they have to work before they are paid. Furthermore, many of them have been organising lessons for miserly wages (this also contradicts why schools should be closed). Indeed, many of those who want schools to remain closed have means of educating their children effectively, forgetting the fisherman's child in Oporoza who either goes to school or hunts for bait worms.
7. Once again, corona is here to stay. There are many workarounds that can be easily adopted to curtail populated classrooms. We must either accept the reality of Covid-19 or simply all remain at home - no markets, malls, churches, mosques, work etc because no one is better or worse than schools as far as the virus is concerned. If you can afford homeschooling or online learning for your children, you should definitely go for it. However, what is good for Bernard is not necessarily good for Benetutukayo and it is nobody's fault that we have an irresponsible government that can't provide adequate infrastructure for times like this.
I am a realist in matters like this but there are factors that policy makers must consider even if schools must remain closed. Until the factors are appropriately pictured, we may be doing more harm due to our inability to see the wider picture. There are reasons why the lockdown didn't last in Nigeria. These are the same reasons why schools can't remain closed indefinitely. I really like your assertion. They are just but the truth. More oil to your brain! 3 Likes |

What is different in Sweden compared to Naija,is it the air or the temperature? There was no lockdown for one day or wearing masks ,everyone goes out as they like. Sweden has 74,000 cases ,5,526 deaths in a country of 10 million population.Once their vaccines are ready,corona go disapppear. Maybe I wasn't specific enough. The difference is in our healthcare and emergency response capacity. We are really lacking in those areas.

Parents are in fact in the fore front of this reopening campaign. Everyone is tired of kids being home all day. Of course there are a few undecided parents. Majority want to move on.
You will see how filled up schools will become on resumption. You can keep your holy child at home and teach him/her by yourself all you want.

henroo2003: Nothing will come out from this protest. All I see here is greediness on the side of the proprietors wanting to use their teachers to achieve their aim. Can't the owners of these school pay their teachers from the school fees they haven been collecting, even if it is half salary. Secondly, I think this will be an Eye-opener for teachers not to put all their eggs in one basket. They should work on another legit source of income. No private school teacher should protest nonsense o jare. Some of these proprietors are crueler than the govt they criticize. Don't be a pawn in their pissing game against govt, guys. Find something else to do with your time and never you return to those slave camps they call schools, if ever the lockdown of education is lifted. |

richiepolymer: This matter is a sensitive one. I feel for the teachers as they have always been the ones at the receiving end. Now let's tell ourselves some hard truths. Private school owners are a wicked set of people. They have no conscience at all. You see schools charging fees to the high heavens and yet don't pay teachers a meaningful wage. You'll charge over 160,000 per head for school fees yet pay a teacher 35,000 as salary. This same teacher will be handling over 100 students. Is that fair? What's the justification for that? These are the reasons why teachers cut corners. Of course covid-19 has taught us all to ave multiple streams of income. The teachers should start thinking along those lines. The earlier we start to realize that in future, most classes will migrate to online mode the better for us all. Its a reality coming sooner than expected. Henceforth, the teachers should negotiate their salary according to the number of students they handle instead of just flat rate salary. Any private school that has refused to even pay half salary this period is just plain wicked. There wasn't any expense on the part of the school owners this period. They didn't spend on taxes, electricity...just security. What happened to all the money they've been making through the years? 10000 likes. Only a fool would go back to teaching after being treated like nonentities by these terrible school owners this corona season. |

So are the proprietors saying they cannot sustain schools for about three months without school fees? What happened to all the previous fees colected by them? School business is not for people that fail to think outside the box.... We should stop giving excuses for school owners to exploit staff.. Stop generalizing. Not all schools collect huge sums of money as school fees. Private schools in the suburbs collect 20k as fees and still not all the children pay up. Now how would such school owners pay salaries. You guys talk like this because you have the opportunity of sending your children to schools on the Island or G.R.A etc. 1 Like |

udeadams: National Association Of Private Schools Teachers Proposed Protest On Monday
Following the notice of the proposed nationwide protest by the National Association of Private Schools Teacher issued on Thursday July 9, 2020, the self acclaimed association national chairman has called on all the private schools teachers to come out en masse in all the states of the federation for the protest.
Due to the indefinite closure of schools as a result of the covid19 pandemic, many private schools have not been able to pay their workers salaries for the last three months. This has triggered some of them to call on the government for help. They claimed the have been abandoned by the government. Oga is it your school? If you don't like the pay, resign, after all you guys knew the salaries before you begged to apply. So either you resign or you form your own school 1 Like |

henroo2003: Nothing will come out from this protest. All I see here is greediness on the side of the proprietors wanting to use their teachers to achieve their aim. Can't the owners of these school pay their teachers from the school fees they haven been collecting, even if it is half salary. Secondly, I think this will be an Eye-opener for teachers not to put all their eggs in one basket. They should work on another legit source of income. You dont know anything about school admin just shut up. Who told you the school fee for a term will pay 3 months salary after the term ended? You just talk trash. 1 Like |

gracevile: yes carriers of viruses that have a cure right not covid-19 dont worry the cure would soon be found until then we need to stay safe. meanwhile what is the new thing we have not heard and not done that will boost their immune system Obviously, you don't seem learned. I would rather not waste any minute with you but just a little tip. The more strains of virus you get exposed to, the easier it is for your immune system deal with new strange ones. Mostly because most virus strains have a few things in common. Hence your immune system will recognize them and deal with them effectively. This is also why Corona hasn't become a pandemic here in Nigeria because we all point to each other as the dirtiest cultural group every time the question pops up. This is why native European families are advocating for not too stringent protection of their babies during their tender years. Let me speak your English.... European scientists advise parents to allow their kids to touch and play freely. Swim in dirt. Etc. FYI, being a mother doesn't automatically qualify you to have sense. So please get sense. You are messing yourself up in public |
