Sri Lanka short of English teachers

Posted 16 Jul 2010

TEFL-qualified people may wish to consider teaching English in Sri Lanka as the country currently does not have enough teachers to meet demand.

It was reported today (July 16th) that 866 schools in Sri Lanka lack a qualified English teacher so TEFL-qualified people could find themselves in demand.

The Presidential Taskforce recently carried out a study, which found that 3,646 schools in difficult areas have vacancies for those wanting to teach English.

However, 1,196 urban and popular schools have an excess of English teachers. The schools lacking a sufficient number of teachers are spread across the country.

Sri Lanka is an island country in South Asia, located about 31 km off the southern coast of India, with which it shares its language, religion and culture.
