Teaching in Africa
Teaching opportunities and international school recruitment in Africa
Whether you are ready to teach abroad or searching for talented educators for your school, ASQ International puts people at the centre of the recruitment experience. We connect high-calibre candidates with international schools, supporting placements in Africa as part of our worldwide teaching recruitment work.
Choosing the right teaching role or appointing the right educator can have a lasting effect. For candidates, it is an opportunity to influence learning in a new setting and take an important step in their career. For schools, every appointment contributes to the quality and continuity of education offered to pupils. Our established network brings committed teachers and world-class international schools together.
International teaching recruitment built around people
ASQ International was founded following the exceptional success of our sister organisation, ASQ Education, which specialises in placements into UK schools. Since then, we have rapidly developed a strong portfolio of international schools that work with us regularly and on an ongoing basis.
Today, our talent pool includes educators who are eager to enhance future learning in different parts of the world. With offices in the UK and South Africa, we are an established organisation in international education recruitment and a natural point of contact for teaching placements connected with Africa.
Our role is to bring schools and candidates together with care. Rather than losing sight of the individuals behind a vacancy or application, we keep the needs of people at the heart of what we do.
For teachers considering a role in Africa
An international teaching placement can open the door to a different professional environment and a wider perspective on education. It can also be a significant personal decision. The destination, school and role all matter, so finding an opportunity that aligns with what you want from your next move is essential.
ASQ International works with a portfolio of world-class international schools and a talent pool of ambitious candidates. If Africa is the focus of your next teaching move, we can consider your experience and career aims in relation to the placements available through our school network.
What to consider before taking the next step
- The type of teaching opportunity you want to pursue.
- Why working in Africa appeals to you professionally and personally.
- The experience and strengths you would bring to an international school.
- How the move fits with your longer-term teaching ambitions.
- Which elements of a school and its learning environment matter most to you.
Thinking through these points will help you present a focused picture of what you are looking for. It also makes it easier to consider whether a potential placement reflects your goals and the contribution you hope to make.
For international schools seeking teaching talent
Recruiting teachers is about more than filling a position. Schools need educators who can contribute positively to learning and become a valuable part of the school community. Access to an engaged international talent pool can help schools meet candidates who are actively interested in influencing and enhancing education around the world.
ASQ International works with international schools on a regular, ongoing basis. This reflects the importance of building strong recruitment relationships rather than viewing each appointment in isolation. Schools in Africa can draw on our international education recruitment focus and our links with candidates looking for their next teaching placement.

How to begin
The first step depends on what you need. Teachers can introduce their experience, career direction and interest in opportunities in Africa. International schools can share the teaching positions they are seeking to fill and what they need from prospective candidates.
From there, ASQ International can consider the relevant placement or recruitment need within the context of its school portfolio and candidate talent pool. This creates a focused starting point for bringing suitable people and opportunities together.
If you are exploring your next international teaching role, now is the time to consider what you want from the move and the difference you hope to make. If you represent a school, begin by defining the position and the contribution the successful teacher should bring. Contact ASQ International to discuss the next step.
