Let’s explore schools that pay teachers Above ksh100, 000
John Okelo Owino is a trained and certified teacher of history and Music. Mr Owino is a testament that teachers can manage to live in applause. The young teacher drives a Toyota harrier and stays in his own Bangalore that he finished building one year ago, in addition, the 29-year gentleman who has been practising teaching for the last 5 years has a multimillion well-stocked boutique that his 24 years wife manages.
Teacher Owino’s story is peculiar because many teachers will achieve this financial breakthrough when they are nearing retirement age.
“Immediately after I finished my course, I attached myself with a local private school in my home town of Kisumu where I volunteered to teach brass band,” John narrated. My work was noticed by one parent who happened to be a matron at an international school based in Nairobi. “It is this parent that vouched for me to the director of the school and that’s how I ended up getting this job,” He said. John disclosed that his first salary was ksh180,000.
John advises fresh graduates to cast their net wide and try their luck in privately-owned institutions, especially those that offer international syllabi.
Yes, it’s never easy to get a job in these institutions, most private institutions steal talented teachers from various government and privately owned schools, so the strategy here is to brand yourself and offer something pivotal per excellence this is because these schools don’t conduct conversational hiring. Again those subjects that are detested in public schools are in high demand in private schools, having an international certification to teach music, physical education and international language can easily land you a lucrative job in Brookeside school.
