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.

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.
