TEACHER E, GRADE 9 – Erongo Regional Council 22 views

Applicants must hold a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree or a relevant undergraduate degree plus a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), both accredited by the Namibian Qualifications Authority (NQA). Registration with the Teaching Council of Namibia (TCN) is mandatory, and proof of current TCN registration must be submitted with the application.

A typical day includes teaching 5–6 periods across core subjects (e.g., English, Mathematics, Natural Sciences), preparing lesson plans aligned with the Namibian National Curriculum, and marking learner assessments. Teachers also attend staff meetings, participate in school-based in-service training, and support extracurricular activities such as sports or clubs as assigned by the school principal.

Namibian regional councils emphasise community engagement, multilingual instruction (often in English alongside local languages like Oshiwambo or Damara/Nama), and adherence to the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture’s policies and code of conduct. Punctuality, respect for hierarchy (e.g., reporting to the principal and circuit inspector), and participation in national initiatives like Learner Support Programmes are strongly expected.

Teachers may progress through the national salary scale (from Teacher E to Teacher D, C, B, and A) based on years of service, performance appraisals, and completion of professional development. Further advancement includes leadership roles such as Head of Department, Deputy Principal, or Principal — all requiring formal leadership qualifications accredited by NQA and approval from the Regional Director of Education.

Permanent teachers are covered under the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) and entitled to 30 working days’ annual leave, 10 days’ sick leave per year, and maternity/paternity leave as per the Labour Act and Public Service Regulations. Medical aid is not directly provided by the council but teachers may join approved schemes voluntarily, often with payroll deductions.

Applications must be submitted via the official Erongo Regional Council website or designated drop-off points during advertised vacancies, including certified academic documents, TCN registration, police clearance, and a signed application form. Recruiters prioritise verified TCN registration, demonstrated classroom experience in Namibian schools, familiarity with the national curriculum, and evidence of commitment to inclusive, learner-centred pedagogy.
