Some people say that it is better to invest money in good equipment for students while other say that it is better to invest the money in recruiting good teachers Comment on either view point and share your opinion

These days, it is often argued that there are greater benefits to spending

money

on purchasing equipment for schools rather than investing the

money

in hiring qualified tutors.

Although

investing in buying devices for the school is important I believe that employing good

teachers

is far more essential. One of the main reasons why those in authority should spend

money

on the employment of good educators is that they are the ones that help instil knowledge in

students

and if qualified and competent people are not offered the job the essence of education will not be achieved effectively thereby pupils will not be able to compete with their peers in other places or later in life with their coworkers in the workforce. Employing talented

teachers

ensures that pupils develop their cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains efficiently.

For instance

,

according to

research

students

who were trained by competent

teachers

excel better than

students

that did not have

this

opportunity.

Secondly

, spending a fortune on employing good educators is vital because having a quality number of good tutors provide a student-centred learning approach

while

teaching because educators would be able to focus on each child based on their mental capability and speed,

therefore

ensuring that no student is left out.

Furthermore

, investing

money

in getting good

teachers

helps to reduce the unemployment level and work overload on

teachers

working in various institutions and

this

can assist in alleviating suffering in the country

while

still improving the educational sector.

For example

, in 2015 when the Nigerian government set out to provide job opportunities for

teachers

who were certified to teach secondary

students

, over a million qualified people applied and

this

is a clear indication that a lot of graduates are unemployed

while

educational institutions are still understaffed.

Conversely

, some people believe that funds should be diverted into equipping schools

instead

of recruiting

teachers

because

this

facilitates and enhances the learning process and it

also

aids the teaching of practical courses.

However

,

this

can only be effective if there are more certified tutors to carry out

this

task because without them the

money

spent on equipment will not be worth it. In conclusion, the government and philanthropists should invest more funds in recruiting good

teachers

because they help to instil knowledge and provide student-focused learning, and

this

can tackle unemployment in the country.

However

, those in authority should

also

equip schools in other to facilitate an efficient learning process.
