Jobs in Cameroon

As one of West Africa's most diverse countries, Cameroon is a melting pot of languages, with large areas for English and French speakers and hundreds of local languages spoken across the country. With a somewhat stable infrastructure and warm, friendly people, Cameroon is a wonderful place to teach in Africa. Most English teaching jobs in Cameroon are on a volunteer basis. Most schools are underfunded but have many eager, motivated students hoping to learn English from native-speaking teachers. Licensed teachers teach at international schools, which typically follow the American, British, or French curriculum. Applicants must hold a government-issued teaching license and have undergone a teaching practicum to teach at an international school in Cameroon. Previous full-time experience, however, is not always necessary. Although many teaching jobs in Cameroon are unpaid volunteer positions, they may offer stipends or housing. Licensed teaching jobs at international schools would typically pay a small but livable salary.
