GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER – Eduagate Academy

You typically need a Bachelor's degree in Education or a relevant field, plus registration with the Namibia Professional Teachers' Union (NPTU). A Primary Teachers' Diploma (PTD) or equivalent from a recognized Namibian institution like UNAM or NUST is commonly required.

You will deliver English lessons following the Namibian curriculum, prepare lesson plans and assessments, and manage classroom behavior for learners aged 8-9. Additional duties include parent meetings, extracurricular activities, and completing required administrative records for the Ministry of Education.

Namibian schools emphasize respect for hierarchy and community involvement, with expectations of punctuality and participation in school events. Teachers often collaborate closely with colleagues and engage with parents from diverse linguistic backgrounds, including Afrikaans and indigenous languages.

Experienced teachers can advance to senior teacher, department head, or vice principal positions through additional qualifications and demonstrated leadership. Further studies in educational management or curriculum development at UNAM can open pathways to ministry roles or teacher training positions.

Public and private schools generally provide annual leave aligned with school holidays, with medical aid and pension contributions varying by employer type. Government positions typically offer more structured benefits through GIPF, while private academies may have different arrangements.

Submit a comprehensive CV with certified copies of qualifications, NPTU registration, and a police clearance certificate to the school or relevant ministry office. Employers prioritize practical teaching experience, fluency in English, and demonstrated ability to work with diverse learners in the Namibian context.
