Buhari propose new salary for teachers
I think you meant to say "Buhari proposes new salary for teachers".
Yes, that's correct. On October 14, 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari proposed a new salary structure for teachers in Nigeria. The proposal was made during the presentation of the 2021 budget to the National Assembly.
According to the proposal, the new salary structure for teachers would be based on a new pay scale that would see teachers earning between N30,000 and N100,000 per month, depending on their qualifications and experience.
The proposed salary structure is as follows:
- N30,000 per month for untrained teachers
- N40,000 per month for trained teachers with a Bachelor's degree
- N50,000 per month for trained teachers with a Master's degree
- N60,000 per month for trained teachers with a Ph.D.
- N80,000 per month for senior teachers with a Ph.D.
- N100,000 per month for principal officers with a Ph.D.
The proposal is aimed at improving the welfare of teachers in Nigeria, who have been demanding better pay and working conditions. The Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) has been advocating for a new salary structure that would reflect the value of teachers to the country's education system.
It's worth noting that the proposal is still pending approval from the National Assembly, and it's unclear when the new salary structure will be implemented.
