Has anyone taught in Anglophone sub-Saharan Africa?
In eighteen months or thereabouts, I'll be a qualified primary school teacher. And I'll be heading off to Africa and Asia. Anyway, I'm wondering just how ... realistic my chances are at scoring a teaching gig? I mean, in Rwanda, last I heard, only 60-70% of teachers were qualified. Less in secondary schools. And I'm guessing Rwanda's education system would be significantly better than, say, Sierra Leone's.
A Ugandan friend reckons I'd have no trouble at all getting a job, but I'd like to hear from someone who's actually done it. And too, I'm not interested in working with or for any NGOs or voluntourism businesses. I just want to be a regular teacher.
