The One With The Temporary Teachers (4/3/2013)


For the last few months I have been told that “any day now” Kafule would be hiring temporary teachers to help out our staff.  Here in Tanzania, once a student finishes form 6 they have to wait 6 months to a year before they can start university.  Many of them, if they are planning on going into education, take this time to get some classroom experience working as temporary teachers (similar to student teachers in the States). 
Well Kafule finally hired 4 temporary teachers, two of whom are teaching mathematics! Which means that I am only teaching form 3 (as well as helping out the temporary teachers). It’s quite different teaching 90 students instead of 500 but I am thankful for the extra time to prepare and for a more relaxed last month of teaching!
