Teaching English in GhanaBack to Tefl World

Ghana is an English-speaking country in West Africa on the Gulf of Guinea coast which is known for its secluded beaches, diverse wildlife, and old forts.  Ghana is one of the world’s biggest producers of cocoa, which along with its gold and diamonds, has helped the country enjoy growing economic prosperity.  The government has used a sizable amount of its GDP to promote education from kindergarten to university for its people – Ghana has one of the highest school enrolment rates in Africa at 96% and an education system which attracts foreign students.   If you are keen to teach in Ghana, then you might try sending one of its schools or one of its 10 tertiary educational institutions a prospective CV and covering letter asking about career opportunities.  Remember to have the full list of vaccinations which are needed for Ghana – the rabies vaccination sometimes needs a course of injections which require up to a month to complete before you depart for the country.
