TEACHER – Dr. Abraham Iyambo S.S

You need a recognized teaching diploma or degree from an accredited institution, plus registration with the Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA) or the Ministry of Education. Additionally, a teaching practice component and clearance from the Teaching Service Commission are typically required.

Teachers plan and deliver lessons according to the national curriculum, assess student progress through assignments and exams, and maintain classroom discipline. They also participate in staff meetings, extracurricular activities, and community outreach programs as required by the school.

Work culture emphasizes collaboration among educators, respect for local languages and cultures, and adherence to government education policies. Teachers are expected to be punctual, dress professionally, and engage positively with parents and community leaders.

Advancement often involves gaining additional qualifications such as a Bachelor of Education or postgraduate diploma, completing professional development courses, and demonstrating leadership in school projects. Experienced teachers may apply for senior teacher, head of department, or inspector positions through the Teaching Service Commission.

Benefits typically include paid leave, medical aid contributions, and a pension scheme governed by the Government Institutions Pension Fund. To apply, candidates submit a certified copy of their qualifications, a detailed CV, and a cover letter to the council’s human resources office, followed by a shortlisting process and an interview.
