The proprietor gave out palliatives to 27 of her workers
and 100 parents whose children are her students, she
told The Nation.
She said that some of her students come to school
really hungry and giving out the relief materials was her
own way of contributing to their parents' welfare in this
trying time.

It should be noted that each package contained rice,

She said she paid her workers full salary in March and
60% and 70% in April and May respectively.
Olajumoke Amos, a parent, thanked the proprietor for
taking care of their needs, saying that despite the fact
the woman is not in the country, she still extended her
love to them.
Akin-Taylor has not been able to take her school’s
learning online because she said parents cannot afford
it.

This is my position. A school who values her staff would pay salaries even when the students are not around due to situations as this.

Nice one mommy

Some schools live from hand to mouth. What they make is what they spend.

Fingers are not equal. Let those that have the ability to do carry on.
I know a school that has been converted to poultry so they can repay loan collected from micro finance.
Some schools are on rented apartment and haven't been earning anything since March, Landlord keeps calling and won't hear stories.
Some schools are still not ripe enough to even think of paying staffs for work not done since May.
I saw a school bus being used for transport business by a School Proprietoress from Ojota to Ogba. Do u know what such woman is facing before she could hustle at that level?

Lets just keep praying for those who have the resources and also have the heart of giving.
U CAN'T GIVE WHAT U DON'T HAVE

One of the reasons why the FG may not be able to re-open schools at this time because what this implies is that such schools may not be able to adapt to all measures to help reduce the spread of COVID19 since they are expensive.

Thats not a good reason.
How many govt/community owned schools will be able to adapt?
We both know the Private sector is more organised than the Public sector.
Do u know why markets, banks and other commercial sectors were opened? Our govt can't afford to go broke. A Private school owner finance his or her school without any support, the major channel of finance has been blocked by the lockdown since MARCH, do u think its easy to cope?
Only Schools with more than 7yrs in the business can afford to pay till this month. But how long can they keep paying?
Can they still pay if school don't resume again this year?
Only the Govt can afford paying cos they have other sectors they can get money from.

The very reason why we just need to hppe we find a lasting solution to this challenge.

Maybe that your Proprietress hasn't been able to fulfil her obligations to even her own nuclear family.

GboyegaD:

Where do they get the money to pay? We parents pay school fees 3 times in a year. Whereas, the schools pay staff salaries 12+1 months in a year. At least my children's school does that.

We need to be fair to the schools and the Proprietors/Proprietresses.

The last salary I received this year was in January.
We were being owed February when the school closed on 23rd March.
Tell me, doesn't a labourer deserve his wages again ?

No vex, where do businesses get their money? We need leave sentiments aside and remind ourself it is not a "not for profit" bit a business. Making losses is part of being in business as such, if this year due to unforeseen circumstance, they should take it as part of their business cycle.

Being fair to them is teaching them it isn't a crime to treat their staff right. We should stop making unnecessary excuses for them.

Aren't they a profit making venture? Does this mean at the end of each term they have zero balances? If the business isn't having a viable future, they could declare bankruptcy and close down and not expect their staff to be reasonable with them since they don't share profits with them, they shouldn't share in the losses.

Excuse me, please don't get me wrong. Paying staff salaries is very important. What I'm saying is that you can't give what you don't have.

In every term, there are roughly four months. If parents pay once in a term, say at the beginning of 1st term (September), the fees they pay should cover Sept, Oct, Nov, December; All other things being equal.

2nd term ( starting January) should cover Jan, Feb, March, April.
So, where do you expect them to get the funds to pay for May etc.

PS.: I learnt all this from the Supervisor of my kids' school, not the Proprietress. He's also a staff who hasn't been paid due to the situation of the country, but he had the presence of mind to recall all the times they were paid bonuses and 13month salaries. In his words "If Aunty could, she would pay all of us full salaries. She can't but she's been giving us stipends every month".

We keep excusing the bad behaviors of our business men and expect them to do better. They wouldn't because they k ow we would make excuse for them and take it as fate.

Due to no active regulatory bodies that watch over private schools owners labour force activities. most school owners dubiously have refused to pay their teachers their complete salary for march April and may.

But some of these private school proprietress slash proprietor often coarse the private school teachers into online teaching but then they are not ready to pay them salary. Some will ask you to record lesson videos for the whole term in a month, type lesson notes from your pocket and submit and at the end, pay you less than half of your monthly salary, most times, less than 10k.

Exactly.

Their respective state government should assist them,because they collect huge taxes termly/yearly from them.

The 3 times you paid school fees for the year covers three terms of four months per term.

No viable business the world over uses his profit to pay salaries,even multi national oil firms drop their workers when there,s no fund to pay them

Then drop them. No one is saying they shouldn't sack them and if you read what I wrote, I said the teachers did not share in their profit so they shouldn't in their loss. Do not retain them if you aren't paying them, it isn't that hard.

Oga... Can't you look for job elsewhere and leave private schools??

Why not apply for a job elsewhere, and leave the private school owners run their business ??
