About this role
If you enjoy connecting math to real-world applications for young learners, classrooms in Tanzania are looking for your support! Tanzania has a significant need for teachers at rural schools, particularly in math and science. The government of Tanzania recognizes the need for students to develop skills in these subjects to support the development of problem-solving skills both in and out of the classroom. However, the government has recently faced challenges in employing civil servants, including STEM teachers, due to its limited budget; a lack of immediate replacements when teachers retire; some teachers choosing to leave the profession to look for more lucrative opportunities; and a low output of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) teachers at universities due to few students studying STEM subjects in secondary school. As a Math Teacher, you will teach algebra to advanced calculus to large classrooms of students ages 12 to 20. Alongside school staff, you will strengthen the capacity of local teachers to teach math subjects.
