A teacher is someone who is happy with the success of their students and does everything they can to see them succeed in their academics and future career. A teacher is a motivator, a formator, and a mentor.

What does a teacher do?

A teacher is a role model who inspires the learners to greatness, not only by their words but also by their actions and reactions. Teachers who teach toddlers play the role of nannies and mummies, taking care of the little children like their own. A teacher gives listening ear to the learners, corrects thI em when they err and guides them in the right path.

The teaching profession

Teaching is a noble profession and the mother of all professions. Every profession there is passed through and were taught by teachers. Therefore, teaching birthed all other professions. Without the teaching profession, our world would be in a big mess. ..

How much does a teacher earn?

For instance, an average teacher in America earns $2,500 a month; an average teacher in Germany earns €2,800; an average teacher in India earns 24,000 INR; an average teacher in South Africa earns R19,000 and an average teacher in Nigeria earns NGN120,000 a month.

My reason for not wanting to be a teacher anymore

Poor Remuneration:

Despite the huge work that teachers do, they are not well taken care of in some nations. It’s discouraging and disheartening. As a teacher in my nation, you cannot even pay your bills, you cannot send your children to good schools, you may not own a house of your own, and you cannot take good care of your family. ..

Imagine the teacher’s joy when he or she finally receives a check for NGN120,000 from the government. This amount is only a token of what the teacher could earn in real life if they were to work hard and stay employed.

Inadequate Compensation:

Teachers in some nations are not adequately compensated for the great inputs and sacrifices they make. Despite the fact that their salary is so meager, in some cases they are been owed this meager salary for months.

Unfair Treatment:

Teachers in the private school sector are not given the same benefits as their counterparts in other sectors. For those that work with private schools, certain percentage of their salary is deducted to be kept aside (saved) as pension for them, although, the school where they teach is supposed to add the same percentage from the school purse to the deducted amount so that when the teachers retire, they will have something to fall back to. That sounds good on paper, but in most cases, the school does not keep their own part of the agreement. Some state governments are not left out in this fraudulent and unfair treatment that is being meted out to teachers.

Lack of Job Security:

The government should invest more in the education of its citizens, not use the teachers as slaves.

Teachers are essential to the quality of education in our society. They provide joy and satisfaction in their work, and their students benefit from this. When teachers are not properly taken care of, the quality of education suffers. We need to ensure that teachers are treated with respect and given the resources they need to do their jobs effectively. Until this happens, the quality of education will continue to decline. ..

I want to be a teacher because I believe in the power of education and the importance of providing a quality education for all students.
