'teaching in Botswana' Education  

michael pakenham from Caen France -

am currently an English Language Lecturer at Caen University in France. I am 45 years old and am a qualified teacher in France, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. I was born in Ireland, but have Irish, British, and French nationality. I have been teaching English since 1985 and am also qualified to teach French Spanish and History. I hold a BA and Postgraduate Diploma in Education from Queen’s University in Belfast, a BA from Caen University in France and the French equivalent of Teacher cert. I currently teach English literature and language at university level and am Head both of our International Relations Dept and the Languages department.

If I have decided to contact you it is because I would like to explore the possibilities, if any, of my working within Botswana as a teacher within the next couple of years all the more so as my partner will be coming to your country in any case to work on contract as a doctor. She is specialized in Infectious and Tropical diseases. I have already begun looking at courses in TESOL offered at Bordeaux France.

I would be very grateful for any help you could give me and look forward to hearing from you soon!!

No trackbacks.

Hi Michael

I suggest you visit the website of the Ministry of Education http://www.moe.gov.bw/ and check any division/department you may be interested in to make an inquiry. A good starting point may be the Teaching Service Management because it is the employing Division. Check contacts for all other departments & divisions within the Ministry. Of relevance to your qualifications may also be the University of Botswana (www.ub.bw), Department of Languages. You can also make enquiries with the College of Open & Distance Learning. We also have Colleges of Education, under the Ministry. I hope that helps, and all the best.
