Employer: Education Office of Rwamagana District
Location: Rwamagana District
Start date: 14 Jan 2013
Length: 24 months
What does the role involve?
You’ll share your education management expertise with district office staff and head teachers to improve the quality of primary school education in the district. This will involve developing an effective system for school supervision and inspections, as well as strengthening the school management skills of individual head teachers.
Skills, qualifications and experience required
Together with a degree, you’ll have a strong education management background, ideally gained as a head, deputy head, or head of department. You’ll have experience in training and mentoring teachers, together with a basic level of French, which you’ll be willing to develop before and during your placement.
And the rest...
This is a rural placement and you’ll split your time between the education office and visiting local schools – you’ll travel as a pillion passenger on a motorbike.
We’ll ask you to commit 24 months to make a sustainable contribution to development goals and in return we’ll provide you with invaluable training before your placement, a local living allowance, return flights, accommodation and insurance. When you return to your home country we’ll help you resettle and we’ll invite you to stay involved with us.
