Which private Primary and Secondary schools are the best In Nigeria? And what are the costs? I heard a school in Lagos charges as much as N500k per term for one Student..... (don't faint, some can afford it)
Some other schools are expensive as well and by the time your child is graduating, he/she will be doing so with an American or British accent...
Foreign trips are included in some of the packages and I hear some Teachers are paid up to N300k in private schools and not up to 50k in public schools.
What Schools do your kids attend and how much is the school fees? How much do public primary and secondary schools cost and why are people not sending their children there?
Despite the costs, do you prefer private schools to public schools?
Lets gist!
Teachers in Public Schools are well qualified,well.paid,and well motivated.Lagos State pays it's teachers on time.
ReplyDeleteYea...Prefer private to Public
ReplyDeleteMy fellow bvs I forgot something
ReplyDeleteObi cubana mother suppose win Grammy for ghost of the year ooo
What do u think
🤣🤣🤣 ghost of the year kai
DeleteStella, I am currently paying above 500k per term for my child. Many schools pay above that. That's not the point however.
ReplyDeleteI am proud to say I attended a public school. I was well groomed and taught. Sadly, my children cannot attend the these schools today? It is shameful that the government does not realise the importance of maintaining quality education and infrastructure for learning, in a country with one of the highest youth population.
Teachers in public schools were better trained, with background in Education. A lot of private schools do not have qualified teachers. They assume that having a degree means you are capable of teaching.
It is not about speaking with foreign accents. We want children to develop with confidence to face the world. Schooling is not about cramming things. It is also the extra curricular, the communication and so on.
Some public schools I visited had 96 students in a class! Imagine that! How can the teachers cope? No labs, dilapidated buildings etc.
Some old student associations do more for the school than the government.
I am passionate about this topic. Imagine if we were serious in this country... like the west, where the standard of education has improved over the years. #deepsigh
I saw a video on IG this morning where both teachers and students of a public school were singing that popular lewd music (shedibalabala) and I shook my head in disappointment.
DeleteIf you didn't see the camera crew, then the one you saw was edited. That was a movie mbok. I don't think our educational system has deteriorated that low.
DeleteAll I know is there is money in this country.
ReplyDelete675k per term in Lekki. Not complaining
ReplyDeleteIt’s even cheap compared to others
As at 20 years ago, Corona was close to N400 per child.
DeleteNot COVID19 but Corona Schools

ReplyDeleteThis should be interesting. Thank you Stella. Just what I need. My two year old will start school in January and I have no idea which school is good in my area. Please people around Olowora, Omole 2 and Magodo phase 1 . Please your recommendations will be much appreciated
ReplyDeleteI only know of MD. It's close to omole 2 (Agidingbi rd)
DeleteTry mind builders or Tomobid.
DeleteCradle and Kickers at Omole is great. My kids went there.
DeleteThank you guys
DeleteI prefer private because of extra activities like swimming, coding, scrabble, basketball etc. I guess most parents want to do better than they had for their kids and believe they can't get that in public schools despite costs
ReplyDeletePublic schools are not under any pressure to deliver so they are relaxed. Most parents can't afford fee paying schools so their wards ended up in public schools.
ReplyDeletePrivate schools on the other hand are mostly staffed with unqualified teachers. But with parents & proprietors breathing down thier necks, they are forced to deliver.
That's just the basics between public and private schools in Nigeria.
For primary education, I'll go with private school. A good one that is.
ReplyDeleteBut secondary school, public because the standard of some public schools has greatly improved. Here in Delta state tho.
Not that the private school teachers don't work, cos I taught in a private school, the students are not just willing to learn because they already know they will pass any exam and you see the attitude rubbing off on even the serious ones.
There's small struggle to learn in public schools. Federal govt college and the likes
my kids boarding school is 5m per annum its outside lagos with top facilities ...you can pay in instalments but I think education is top priority for me so if one can afford it instead of bone straight and range rover I will pay any amount for solid education
ReplyDeleteWhy most parents don't send their kids to public schools in Nigeria is because most of their teachers are not versatile, they are not going to trainings or trying to better the standard of education on the public schools, they hardly do anything computerized.i doubt they can even use the projector or something to catch the pupils attention (no offense to public school teachers here). while private schools get more kids. Because it's technology inclined, the teachers are versatile,they train, learn, go out to better themselves so they can get paid and also referred to other schools. Parents don't mind the high price in school fees, as long as they get the value and more of what they are paying.
ReplyDeleteLol... 500k is small now, St Saviours School Ikoyi is almost up to 1.5million per term now.
ReplyDeleteTheir admission acceptance fee alone was close to 3.5 million per student.
The standard is good but tuition would have been free if we were in Canada oh.
Oga no gree. Tired of this country still.
Lol...Saint Saviours has always being expensive from time in memorial but they are Good.
DeleteIt’s been not being!! Idiot
DeleteAnyone 17:27 don't be an online bully. God loves you more.
DeleteAbit harsh 17:27 don't you think?
DeleteGod's child, you are truly God's child, just look at the polite response you gave to an obviously ill mannered person. 👍
DeleteCalling someone an idiot over what must have been a typo error just shows the frustration most Nigerians face in their daily lives.
DeleteStella,God bless you for this post.I pay almost 400 for my girls termly.About 200k each, depending on the term.I want to change their school this September because it's becoming difficult for us to cope.The school is very good,if I had my way,wil leave them there.Please,I need another cheaper school,but also good within Gwarinpa in Abuja.Thank you my people.
ReplyDeleteMilestone Academy, 7th Avenue, Gwarinpa. They are very good and much cheaper too. They do Balley, Taekwando, Swimming and other activities. School fees is under 150k. I know this because my Niece and Nephew attend this great school.
DeleteThank you Anon 16:10
DeletePrivate.
ReplyDeleteGood private school
ReplyDeletePlease who knows of very good day schools in Uyo,Akwa Ibom State that would impart very good academic standards ,values and morals on the Child?
ReplyDeleteThere's a Catholic mixed day school along idoro road school named after a bishop(brian D.Usanga)... affordable and good..
DeleteAnon 15.24 St Saviour's School ought to be more than 1.5m because of the kind of exotic cars that park arround to pick up the students after school. I usually see them when I'm going to Airtel's office
ReplyDeleteIt has to be. As at 20 years ago it was like N1m
Delete1 million and above for day students?
DeleteHmmmmnn. Some Nigerians are wealthy.
Na wah. I have 2 children. Currently paying 3.2m annually for each of them in a very good private boarding school in Ogun state. I love the school. High standards and they focus on everything not just academics. Olympic sized swimming pool, wonderful track and world class tennis court. Great amphi theatre. My first wants to do theatre arts and my second history and strategic studies. I think the school is preparing them well.
ReplyDeleteI really do laugh though but in all i have come to realize that both the private and public products will meet at a point, even the if you paid billions in school fees in the end a public system product might be the employer.
ReplyDeleteI love ur comment annon,cos ur so right.th3e truth is d public school teachers are good stuff but Nigeria being Nigeria u know d rest.and wats with all these extra lesson and stuffs well,we nid to know how to make our government pay for this wickedness matted out on its citizens.so now,only d rich can take their kids to school.public schools teachers are always on strike thanks to our ignorant government. Nigeria is an exhausting country.
