Needs of First God’s Love Nursery & Primary School

School Site/Premises

The school uses a church hall for its school activities and all classes are held in that hall. The school needs a school site with classrooms, toilets, playground etc and all other amenities

Library

The school does not have a library and needs a library with books.

Inability to pay teachers salaries

The school fees charged per child in a term is N9,000 and only 35% of the parents eventually pay the fees due to poverty. The school struggles hard with paying the salaries of the teachers and oftentimes ends up owing them for several months.

Insufficient teachers

There are sixty-four children in the school and the teachers available are not enough considering the number of student. The school needs more teachers but can not afford it. The average salary per teacher in the school is N15,000 in a month

Inadequate funds for daily operations

Most parents don’t pay the charged fees and due to this, the school lack funds for its daily operations. The head teacher of the school engages in farming activities to sustain the school and ensure that the school is not closed
