South Africa.

The right position doesn't have to be far from home. We place SA teachers in government, private, and international schools — starting in the Western Cape, reaching every major province.

The right position.
Close to home.

South Africa has some of the finest schools on the continent. Whether you're newly qualified and looking for your first placement, experienced and ready for a change, or returning to the classroom after a break — Eduplace knows the local education landscape and the schools that will suit you.

There is no cost to teachers. Local and international placements are completely free. We are funded by the schools we work with.
