TEMPORARY TEACHING POST – Ministry of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sport, Arts and Culture

Must hold a Bachelor's degree in Education or a relevant subject, plus a teaching certificate issued by the Namibia Institute of Education. Some schools may also require a minimum of one year of teaching experience or completion of a teacher training program.

Deliver lesson plans aligned with the national curriculum, assess student progress, and maintain classroom discipline. Additionally, you may be asked to support extracurricular activities and collaborate with colleagues on curriculum development.

Namibia values punctuality, respect for hierarchy, and community engagement; teachers are expected to be proactive in building relationships with students and parents. Temporary staff should be flexible, ready to adapt to resource constraints, and willing to participate in professional development sessions.

Successful temporary teachers can apply for permanent positions within the Ministry or local schools, often requiring additional qualifications such as a Master's in Education. Long-term career paths include moving into senior teaching roles, curriculum coordination, or administrative positions like Deputy Principal.

Benefits typically include paid leave, access to a national medical aid scheme, and pension contributions through the Namibia Pension Fund. Temporary teachers may also receive professional development allowances and support for travel or accommodation when posted to remote schools.

Submit an online application via the Ministry’s portal, attaching your degree, teaching certificate, and a cover letter. The Ministry prioritises candidates with subject expertise, strong communication skills, and a demonstrated commitment to inclusive education.
