Teaching English in EritreaBack to Tefl World

Eritrea is a country in East Africa which has a coastline on the Red Sea across from Yemen, and has borders with Sudan, Ethiopia, and Djibouti.  The Eritrean economy has experienced considerable relative growth due to the commencement of gold and silver mining as well as the production of cement.  It’s rare to see TEFL jobs advertised for Eritrea, if they do appear they are usually located in the architecturally interesting capital of Asmara.  Before you sign a contract for a TEFL position in Eritrea, you should seek your government’s foreign office’s advice on working in that country. Remember to have the full list of vaccinations which are needed for Eritrea – the rabies vaccination sometimes needs a course of injections which require up to a month to complete before you depart for the country.
