It is believed that a healthy and financially buoyant teacher will perform better on duty than a teacher who is not “stomach-balanced”.
Ask those teachers who are hunting for new schools to work with in this new session.
Not less that 85% of them will tell you that they need a better pay.
I am aware that the economy is biting hard on everyone but the teaching professionals are the worst hit, especially the private school teachers.
Why are many teachers leaving their father land to the white man’s country a.k.a. (Japa)?
It is simply because they want a better life for themselves and their children too.
I have come to the realization of the fact that by nature, teachers are not greedy!
Give them what is due to them and you will see yourself winning their loyalty to the school and dedication to their duties.
As a school owner, are your staff well paid?
Can you boastfully say that your staff can live comfortably with their salary?
