Nigeria must take the remunerations, motivation and welfare of teachers seriously in order to reposition Nigerian education according to Hajiya Fatima Abdulrahman, the President of the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools.
Nigerian teachers need training and motivation for high productivity, says thePresident of the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools(ANCOPSS),Hajiya Fatima Abdulrahman.
In an interview withDaily Trust, Abdulrahman said the main problems of teachers in Nigeria are inadequate training and facilities, poor welfare and lack of motivation.
"The major problems of teachers in the country are lack of training and retraining of teachers, over crowdedness in our classrooms, dilapidated structures and lack of motivation to teachers for high productivity," she said.
"I mean welfare of teachers, remunerations, their moral is very low in the society and to boost the morale of teachers for high productivity, their welfare should be prioritised."
According to the educationist, who has taught for 30 years, "some states teachers’ salaries are not paid for months," a situation that should not occur if teachers must produce their best.
"You have to motivate teachers for high productivity."
She called on the incoming government to take the remunerations, motivation and welfare of teachers seriously to move education forward.
In 2013, Abdulrahman, who is the current Principal ofGSS, Kuje, emerged the first female National President of ANCOPSS, an association that consists of principals of secondary schools and junior secondary schools in Nigeria.
