Have you considered moving your teaching career internationally and working in one of the 54 beautiful countries of Africa? Often described as a hidden jewel, Africa is renowned for its breathtaking scenery and wildlife parks. A great opportunity awaits for you to explore this culturally rich, diverse and majestic continent. From the tropical rain forests of central Africa to the Savannah plains and paradise-like coastlines of East Africa, teaching in this continent could be an adventure that has the potential to change your life.
Teaching in Africa
When it comes to teaching in Africa, no two days will be the same. The children you will meet and the memories you will make will last a lifetime. As the second largest continent in the world, Africa is home to 15% of the world's population. As a diverse continent, made up of multiple regions and numerous ethnic groups, each teacher's experience will vary. Many schools provide amazing benefits such as free accommodation, flights, generous holidays and sometimes even in rare cases a tax-free salary.
The cost of living is relatively low, especially in rural areas, giving you the chance to save a large portion of your salary and have enough left over to explore the local surroundings with relative ease. The quality of schools vary considerably and therefore we encourage you to have an open mind when looking to pursue a teaching career within Africa. While teaching in Africa is not without its challenges - some may face harsh living conditions or limited school resources - you will learn a great deal about the local students, all while witnessing your own personal and professional development.
