When Iraqi troops were driven out in early 1991 and reconstruction work began in the ruins of Kuwait City, the government quickly became obsessed with meticulously re-creating the country's pre-invasion appearance - right down to the pink marble steps at the entrance to Kuwait City's leading five-star hotel. With the war a fading memory, Kuwait is once again the prototypical oil state, and travellers looking for a relaxed entry into the Muslim world can expect their share of mosques, souks and other sandy traces of bygone Bedouin days.

Kuwait has a thriving population of teachers and workers from all over the world. A 'dry' country, ex-pat teachers can find a lively ex-pat social network with plenty of sports and social clubs including rugby, sailing and horse riding, swimming on beautiful beaches as well as travel opportunities on the doorstep of Africa and the Middle East. With enterprising shopkeepers selling everything to brew your own beer and wine right next to each other on the supermarket shelves, Kuwait is a place for teachers who are adventurous and willing to make their own fun whilst earning a good salary in a country that is investing heavily in education.

Qualifications:
You must have teaching qualification/certification for children with special educational needs.

Bilingual Local US Curriculum
* UK, American and Canadian Teachers preferred
* Other nationalities will be considered as well as confident Newly qualified teachers
* NOR +1500 KG to G12. 83% of students are local with a high % of SEN students

We recruit only qualified/certified teachers from the following countries:
-United Kingdom
-USA
-Canada
-Ireland
-Australia
-New Zealand
-South Africa

Teachers must be fully trained to teach in state schools in one of these countries and possess full qualification/certification with teacher training such as a Bachelors or Masters of Education, PGCE, Higher Diploma in Education, etc. South African teachers with only a diploma of education will have very limited opportunities as most Ministries of Education require a Bachelors degree in Education, and do not like the word Diploma.

Please note that these are not jobs teaching English as a foreign language and therefore a TEFL certificate and/or non-educational Bachelors degree alone is not enough.

Due to the volume of applications, only successful candidates will be contacted but if you do not meet the above qualifications you will not be considered.
