“The UK Government’s £10,000 Relocation Offer to Teachers Sparks Division Among Nigerians”
“The UK Government Extends Generous £10,000 Offer for Visa and Relocation to International Teachers, Particularly in Languages and Physics.
In preparation for the 2023/2024 academic year, the United Kingdom government has released an official statement on their website detailing the eligibility criteria for a substantial one-time £10,000 relocation payment.”
The UK government is offering a £10,000 international relocation payment (IRP) to qualified non-UK language and physics teachers who are willing to relocate to the United Kingdom. This payment is intended to assist with various expenses related to relocation, including visa costs and the immigration health surcharge. The IRP is aimed at providing financial support to teachers and trainees worldwide who wish to train and work in English schools. Eligible recipients can expect to receive the payment at the conclusion of their first term, and it is not subject to repayment.
“Trainee teachers who meet the eligibility criteria have the opportunity to receive both the International Relocation Payment (IRP) and a bursary or scholarship. We are introducing the IRP as a pilot program for the 2023 to 2024 academic year.”

Nigerians’ Reactions to the £10,000 Bursary for Teacher Relocation to the UK:
Wizarab10 shared their perspective: “The UK is offering a £10,000 relocation fee for anyone looking to migrate to the UK to teach. It’s important to note that teaching children is one of the most challenging jobs in the UK. There may be challenges with respect and authority when dealing with kids. This is just a friendly piece of advice before you consider it.”
Kingsizzz said: “Take note some of these UK kids will spit on you and you can’t do anything about it.”
maxvayshia commented: “They should teach their children themselves. Na their wahala be that.”
RealBrihannah said: “Friendly advice needed before you rush go beat oyibo pikin.”
Ogee_Onovo commented: “It seems people are not applying that’s why they decided to add money.”
rukky_nate stated: “I would rather teach here in Nigeria than teach in the UK or the US. There’s absolutely NO respect for you as a teacher in these two countries, you are disrespected, dehumanized, made fun of by the students and there’s absolutely NOTHING you can do about it. It’s not worth it.”
