Challenges of the Teaching Profession in Nigeria
Challenges of the Education Profession in Nigeria
Teachers at all levels in Nigeria are yet to take their rightful position. This perhaps explains the popular slogan, “Teachers’ reward is in heaven”, meaning, they are not being well remunerated or respected for their painstaking efforts and services. Their take home pay is below standards the world over, while there is gross under funding for education. These challenges and many others have left the teaching profession in a less desirable state. But, and as if that was not enough, it has contributed in no small way to the fallen standard of our education.

One cannot but use a medium of this nature to send a strong appeal to the government and all stake holders in educational sector to give education and teachers’ welfare all the attention and priority it deserves. This will not only restore the glory of the teaching profession but will have a good telling effect on our educational standard.
The challenges notwithstanding, the teaching profession remains rewardable and honourable. It is true that teachers may not live in affluence like the politicians, but you can be sure of a decent, satisfying and fulfilling life; depending on you anyway. You sure need to be focused, love your work with passion, be hard working and have a strong desire for career progression. As a degree holder, don’t remain at that level, go ahead and obtain your Masters and even Doctorate degree. No doubt, this will take you to places beyond your dream, opening up more opportunities for you.
