We’re excited to announce that starting next year, we’ll be increasing salaries for all teachers by $10,000.
We know how important and hard-working our teachers are, and we want to show our appreciation for them by ensuring they are compensated fairly.
We want to create a better world for our children, and that starts with providing the best possible education for them.
Teachers work in a middle school or high school environment and administer lessons to students. This often involves teaching large classes of students, so it is important to show authority and be able to control a large group of people.
Some students may have behavioural problems, so it is important not only to help administer coursework but also to help shape students’ personalities and behaviour.
Salary Structure of Teachers in Private School
Let us look at the salary structure of private school teachers. Private owned secondary schools have a higher salary structure for their teachers than government-owned schools.
Also, if you have a very high qualification as a teacher, you can take home an average salary of N80,000 to N150,000.
Though, the average salary and others all depend on the certification of the teacher. Teachers with master’s or just bachelor’s degrees take home a minimum of N50,000 to N80,000. While PhD holders take home above the N80,000 mark.
Salary Structure of Teachers in Public School
Public schools have one thing that we normally know them for. Therefore, they have poor facilities. This does not apply to all the schools in Nigeria, but most Nigerian public schools are nothing to write home about, so are the salaries of public school teachers.
On average, the take-home salary of a public school teacher is about N15,000 to N70,000 per month. Graduates who are placed at Level 8.
However, they are teachers at federal schools collect an average salary of ₦46,000 to ₦66,000, while those state teachers under the Lagos ministry of education receive an entry-level 8 salary of about ₦45,000 on a monthly basis.
The respite of the poor funds that are not duly allocated to public schools. Also, teachers always opt for them where they want to cement their teaching careers.
