Anucha Wisdom, a lecturer in the Faculty of Education, Abia State University, Uturu, who recently found out that his nursery school teacher, identified as Aunty Ijeoma, was one of his students at the university, tells EMMANUEL OJO the life lessons the encounter taught him
She used to be very slim but has really added much now. She wasn’t married back then but she is married now and for a married woman with children, you expect much change to have taken place. Many things changed about her.Let me digress a bit. After primary school, I went to Federal Government College, Ohafia, and I happened to be the senior prefect of my set in 2008. I was a science pupil in SS1 and SS2.
It will shock you to know what a bachelor’s degree holder who is a teacher told me. He is paid N20,000 per month to teach in a school. What can he do with that? Forget about the varied descriptions like teachers, lecturers and so on that are given; we are all teachers. We just came out of the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities the other time and if care is not taken, we will also go back on strike. So, nothing is happening. We are not well rewarded.
This one sounded funny but no matter how we look at it, there is this emotional attachment and we cannot but mention it. Marking her scripts, I’m sure she will do well. She is such a bright student. So, she will do well. Well, for me, it is very difficult to fail my course and there are reasons. For continuous assessment, I award 20 marks for assignments and 10 for attendance. I give a lot of take-home assignments as a continuous assessment. I also award 10 marks for attendance.
