Subject: Teaching Job Abroad
Date: 9-Oct-2008
Question: Sir, I completed M.A, M.Ed, I am in teaching line i like to work in other countries, my subject is social studies. Can I get job in europe or asia countries outside India
Answer: In the teaching sector, career opportunities abroad were rare earlier, but with the growing demand for education in developing and underdeveloped countries like Ethiopia, Eritrea, Nepal, Bhutan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Brunei, Libya and many more, the need of teaching professionals at all levels in schools, colleges (general and vocational) and universities is growing. These countries have also started to recruit candidates directly through their embassies in India. Educations programmes whether through the UNDP or directly under the respective governments are worth trying for few years.

Persons with Ph.D’s and long teaching experiences are not the only ones getting these opportunities; persons with simple post graduation (PG) degrees and modest teaching experience are also getting these assignments. It all depends upon the demand for a particular subject expert in a particular country. National newspapers do carry the information about these job opportunities and the Internet can be used to explore more vistas in this regard.

Apart from these programs there are a over 100 CBSE affiliated schools outside India.So they also need teachers for their overseas branches. The vacancies there also published in national dailies from time to time.

All the best
