Madagascar, the world's fourth-largest island, is located off the southeastern coast of Africa. It is a unique and biodiverse country, known for its lemurs, rainforests, and baobab trees. Teaching English in Madagascar offers a chance to immerse oneself in a vibrant culture, explore stunning landscapes, and make a meaningful impact on students' lives. While the demand for English teachers is high, the pay is generally low, and most positions are found in private language schools or international schools located in larger cities like Antananarivo, the capital. To teach English in Madagascar, a bachelor's degree and a TEFL certification are typically required, though some schools may hire teachers with only a TEFL certificate. It's important to be prepared for a different pace of life and cultural norms, as well as potential challenges like limited infrastructure and unreliable electricity in some areas.
