Message from Education Program Development Director:
Education is widely considered to be the backbone of any developing country and the success of an educational system is dependent on the quality of teachers within that system.

Jamaican Trained Teachers are widely regarded as among the best trained in the world and are sought extensively by many countries to enhance their education system. Similarly, Jamaican Trained Teachers are always seeking the opportunity to ply their trade overseas.

Jobquest has designed this program to bring together both teachers and Schools overseas in a most effective and stress free manner. It is our intention to make your quest for overseas teaching employment, as easy as 1-2-3.

We are prepared!

TEACHERS! make your next career move a smart one! Get the right teaching jobs for you. Realise your market potential by letting employers find you!

Submit your preliminary application (submit online) to Jobquest International Ltd.

Your information will be sent directly to hundreds of schools and teaching agencies in the USA, UK, Australia and Worldwide.

All over the world children are benefiting from the cultural enrichment that the ‘global teacher’ can bring to them. This necessarily breeds knowledge, tolerance and a wider understanding of how people live in other countries that many of them will never have the opportunity to visit.

Do you have a recognized teaching qualification?

All Jamaican teachers must have a teaching qualification that is equivalent to a USA, UK or Australian teaching qualification.

We are seeking teachers who have the will to make a change in the lives of children and who have the enthusiasm and adaptability.

Teachers can now embark on an overseas work experience where you can extend and develop your teaching skills.

We are seeking to recruit in the following subject areas:

Math/Biology
Sciences
Special Ed
Early Childhood Ed
Foreign Languages
Primary Ed

PRAXIS II TEST

What Are PRAXIS II Tests?

PRAXIS II: Subject Assessment tests measure knowledge of specific subjects that K-12 educators will teach, as well as general and subject-specific teaching skills and knowledge. There are Subject Assessments, Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) Tests and Teaching Foundations Tests.

Who Takes The Tests And Why?

Individuals entering the teaching profession take these tests as part of the teacher licensing and certification process required by many states. A number of professional associations and organizations require these tests as one criterion for professional licensing decisions.

Where Do People Take The Tests?

The PRAXIS Series tests are taken at testing locations located in various states and regions. Refer to the Paper-based Test Centers (PDF) for a complete list of testing locations in your area.

For paper-based nonstandard test administrations, test takers whose primary language is not English will be administered at pre-established test centers and supplemental centers. See PLNE Center List (PDF).
