How much do entry level teachers make in Nigeria?

Are you looking to teach in Nigeria? You might want to commence a full-term career in it, or you might want to teach for a certain period of time. Either ways, you should know a few things about the profession and how to make the most of it financially in Nigeria. Here’s a need-to-know guide.

The first thing you need to know is that teachers in Nigeria have their earnings determined by two major things: their educational qualification AND the school standard. So, to excel as a teacher (especially financially) get the relevant degrees AND search for the best.

According to a report byVanguard, unlike their counterparts in other countries, teachers are some of the lowest paid professionals in Nigeria.  Mysalaryscale.comreports that teachers earn a general average of #49,000. The teaching industry in Nigeria is really strange because there are teachers earning as much as 300,000 (and much more), and some as low as 15,000.

The big schools which pay well (I’ve made a list for you at the end of the article) want the best talents in order to be able to churn out good products and maintain their standards. So, if you are qualified, all you have to do is check look out for these openings onAssist to Hire. Do note that this does not mean all teachers earn this amount. The “average salary” means that some teachers earn lower than this while others earn higher. The average salary is just a figure for you to build you Primary school teachers seem to fall very low in this salary scale.
