High School Science Teacher

PCV, LiberiaPosted Oct 19, 2026

Job description

High schools in Liberia are seeking science enthusiasts to strengthen practical learning for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Across Liberia, many schools struggle to provide consistent, practical science instruction due to limited laboratory resources, large class sizes, and a shortage of trained science educators.

As a result, most students learn scientific theory with few opportunities to observe core concepts through hands-on experiments. National assessments highlight persistent gaps in STEM achievement. Strengthening science teaching is a government priority to prepare youth for technical fields and emerging work force needs.

Schools require additional support to help revitalize laboratory instruction, build teacher capacity, and expand students’ exposure to interactive science learning. As a High School Science Teacher, you will work closely with teachers to increase students’ scientific literacy, improve their practical skills, and boost overall confidence in STEM subjects.

Your support will create more engaging, hands‑on learning experiences for students and, over time, help build a stronger science education system that empowers a new generation of critical thinkers and future science professionals.
