The Nigerian Labour Congress has blamed state governments for the Federal Government’s reluctance in issuing the circular on the Teachers Salary Scale (TSS). The Akwa Ibom State Chairman of the NLC, Mr Unyime Usoro while commenting on his union's readiness to commence negotiations on the circular with Akwa Ibom Government, said "We are enthusiastic to see the circular out so that we would negotiate with the state government for our workers." But most state governments are responsible for the inability of the government to act decisively on the ...

The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) had on Monday embarked on an indefinite strike to press for the implementation of the TSS.

The National Union of Teachers (NUT) Monday embarked on an indefinite industrial action following failure by the federal government to issue approval circular on the new Teachers Salary Scale (TSS).

There is a lot of talk about “Corruption in Education as a major drain on development” at the international and national levels of education generally, while silence is maintained when it comes to “Classroom mal-practice”. I agree with the statement made at the World Education Forum that “Education is a human right. For people, it is often the only way to escape poverty; for nations, it is crucial to development and growth”. If Classroom mal-practice is not curbed, the values of education such as integrity, equality and social justice, and the general sense of shared responsibility, which is key to social cohesion ...

My friend’s daughter once told her mum, “teacher said that nobody should go home and tell tales.” This was rather amusing coming from a six-year-old and her mum tried to probe further by asking, “Did anybody tell tales?”  “Yes now, Maureen told her mummy that teacher threw her glasses away and beat her on her bum bum when she didn’t even do anything.” My friend and I exchanged looks and realized the poor teacher had given them a talk because she had obviously heard what Maureen went home to tell her mum. Apparently Maureen had broken her third pair of glasses in ...

In Nigeria, the banking, religious and schooling sectors seem to have an infinite market capacity. For schools and other learning institutes the demand of Nigerians for accredited or formal study appears almost insatiable.  Yet, this yearning for more knowledge begs the question: does more teaching or instruction equate with more learning?   For parents that can afford it, the norm is now to send children as young as suckling babes to school: crèche or kindergarten. This innate urge to give our young the best start in life has its upside. For example, it has a positive impact ...
