My proprietress has not paid me my March salary (15k) till today and no work no salary for April. She said she is expecting some parents to pay her during holiday. I'm the only English teacher in the school for both JS & SS. In my next life, I will never be a teacher.

Go on facebook and search for Digital Witch Support Team. The answer to your questions lies there.

It is get paid as you work.

It seems you own a school.
Oga regardless of the reasons, try and pay you workers salary, even if u need to borrow, they are humans and they have needs

descarado:

Thank you.

Don't forget what they pay to ministry of education annually.
That's where more than half of their income go to.
You object, greedy staff will come and seal up your school.
Those doing well will readily pay.

People who can handle private school business are church owners cos they inject church fund at the first few yrs to keep the school running before they will see profit.

Others are backed by politicians. The elite ones has to add the ' abroad' flavour to attract parents and wards and they are very expensive. Their teachers earn very well too.

pls lets set a gofundme acc for her

There is no time that teachers do not work: they work at night and during the day, they work on weekends and during holidays!
During holidays, when students are relaxing, the teachers are already preparing for the next resumption. You can not just start preparing lesson notes and plans during school periods!

He doesn't know the amount of time a teacher devotes to make lesson plans. He think say writing lesson plan na beans

U can as well choose another career as quick as possible.
My wife read education history at the University but she is a chartered banker with 13years experience.

U too can be whatever u have decided not in the next world because there is no assurance for that.

It's the most terrible job experience I've ever had. It's better to suffer and hustle bit by bit than to be a private school teacher in Nigeria.

Poor salaries that comes with steady carryover. You'll get March salary at the end of May, too bad...

sinkhole:
Just imagine what that guy said, quite unfair!
How many civil servants carry office work home? Teachers have no choice but to do so! I have seen a teacher marking students scripts, in her house, 7PM. This was a married woman with kids of her own to take care of!

If I discorvered that my children school do not pay their teachers on holidays, I will withdraw my children from such school!

I did not even know that you are the one who made the statement I quoted

lol. the point was if they don't work they shouldn't get paid. But the truth is they work.

Are you a graduate? Did you take blood oath to be in that particular school?

the fact is not all schools can afford to pay their staff salary during holiday.and so during those holiday period they won't also compel the staff to come to sch either to form their lesson plans,so those staff have time/right to venture into other activities during that period.
some schs still pay half salary while some pay full salary during holidays.
even though some proprietors might be greedy it still depends on how financial bouyant the school for them to pay staff judiciously.

Teaching sweet but the pay is the problem.


Keeps one going especially seeing those children smiling and the have no clue about a fvckup country they are in.

Nigeria is on a timed bomb

Tomilola360:

A teacher that did not work during the holiday will clearly show during his/her delivery during the school session.
What the private school do is to employ unqualified teachers (non NCE, BEd, PGDE), those teachers can not complain if they are exploited, as the judgement of Ministry will most likely be that those people should be disengaged and the school should employ qualified teachers who will stand on their rights!

Lamasta:
Atimes I do wonder if labour laws applies to private organizations and firms in Nigeria

not applicable to private schools,most private schools in Nigeria pay less the minimum wage and assign many duties on their employees, working in a private school is another form of modern slavery..

Why is it that most private school don't pay their workers during hoildays. Like once the term ends like this. Salary wnt be paid till when they start work again.

This isn't right now.

Please, what's your view about this policy, guy?

Saddening!

We still have a long way to go in this clime.

How would they (teachers) take care of themselves and families during holidays?

Now I know why many of them do not return to their employer after holiday period is over.

Lamasta:

There are no such thing as labor law in Nigeria

When my former employer entrench lots of staff in 2019 across 3 to 4 countries the labor law in those other countries were applied but in case of Nigeria we were categorically told there's no reasonable labor law in Nigeria hence they have to resort to using labor law of USA (which is the headquarters of the company) for staff in Nigeria

In this Nigeria? Haba madam! This your tale sounds incredulous to the ears.

How much is their school fees that they pay you 6 figures

That's the contract you negotiated.
If you wanna negotiate next time, ask if they pay during holidays.
Those private schools use teachers wella. They prefer if all tutors can be part time sef

dontrulee:
Alaye, no work no pay.
How will a private organization pay you for work you didn't do?? You can organize private coaching during the holidays to get extra cash.

Most teachers in private schools will not recieve pay for April because they worked only two weeks.

and they shouldn’t be paid for that two weeks abi ??

5.5 million for boarders

4:2 million for day students..

I am not even including my private IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT lessons I charge extra for..

Bros, get the right certification and connection ( and of course grace from God)

You'll find teaching to be one of the most lucrative out there, without taking all your time..

how u take manage 15k per month

I work as part of the management body of a private school, I can tell you bodly that parents inadequate to pay school fees which is the income to the school is the major problems. Imagine a school with 40% debt from parents couple with a lot of maintenance and levies to the govt bodies. School even find it difficult to pay working salaries talk more of holidays.
The country is just rigid on most people, which one of the effect falls back to the school.
You even lose more when they withdraw the child to a govt school or more cheaper one.
Menh is not easy on private school, we need grants to actually achieve those dispense.

Ekitischool:
Sometimes, I'm surprised when I read things like this. A graduate earning 15k as a teacher? I guess it's because such teachers don't want to leave their comfort zones. If you can teach in Ekiti State, send your CV to ekitischool@gmail.com. Least salary is 30k and some schools will offer you free accommodation.

How do you know that they don't want to leave their comfort zones? Is that what they told u or are in their minds?

Why don't u have teaching job of minimum 100k to offer?

seanwilliam:

That will be wickedness. They should pay at least half

As someone who has had the honour of being in the two positions, this is my short take.
It is wrong that anyone should be denied his or her salary once the work is done. I had worked at two different schools before and I was owed in both, but I was not that angry because I knew what was going on and talked my colleagues out of taking drastic measures. The parents are the one mostly responding for this problem. They don't pay in time and sometimes take away a child to another without paying outstanding bill. In fact there was a parent that begged for almost two terms and later took the children to another school when she had the money. However, proprietor (tress) can avoid non payment of salary this day because there are different platforms that are ready to provide loan for salary. You, as a teacher, take a loan and make sure that your proprietor is a guarantor. Free to ask for guidance.

It is only that I don't wanna do yahoo
Teaching in private school has been the most heart breaking stories of my life since 2008 I graduated.


Some orphans like me are really struggling in Nigeria and yet we don't want to kill and do JUJU to get breakthroughs

Oh I understand now. Kudos to you then.

Kobicove:
All private school owners rely on tuition paid by students to pay salaries of teachers...everyone knows that most parents in Nigeria do not like to pay school fees of their wards on time

I thought the proprietor of my secondary school was a stingy/greedy man when he send students home that haven't paid school fees even on the first day of resumption. But now I understand why he does that. Before first test, all students must have paid all their school fees.

But even at that this man still dey owe school fees.. The number of students in my class alone is enough to pay all the teachers in the school their salaries for at least two months.
Heard the man use to deliberately owe teachers salaries so they can't leave the school..
Most private school owners are just heartless.
