The Opportunity
EF is hiring 30 District Education Technical
Advisors (DETA) to lead day-to-day implementation of the SPEAQ program
at district level. SPEAQ is a national initiative designed to strengthen
English proficiency and improve teaching quality across Rwanda’s education
system by supporting district level education officials and school leadership,
as well as in-service and pre-service teachers through intensive training,
transparent reporting and ongoing support.
This is a highly field-based role. You will work
directly with teachers, school leaders, and district officials to ensure strong
participation, solve challenges quickly, monitor progress daily, and drive
accountability at school, sector and district level. You will be the
district-level technical focal point ensuring the program delivers real
impact.
The Person We Are Looking For
The ideal candidate is a hands-on, highly organized, and
field-driven professional who thrives on solving problems on the ground and
supporting teachers to succeed. You have a strong understanding of Rwanda’s
education sector and the key stakeholders within it, including teachers, Head
Teachers, Sector Education Inspectors, District Directors of Education, and
local government leadership.
You have proven experience navigating the education system
and understand how schools operate in practice. You are confident working
directly with school leadership to drive engagement, performance, and
accountability. You bring strong relationships, the ability to build trust and
communicate effectively across all levels, bridging internal teams and external
stakeholders with professionalism, respect, and practical, collaborative
problem-solving.
If you thrive in dynamic environments, are proactive and
resilient, and are ready to roll up your sleeves to identify barriers, develop
practical solutions, and ensure strong program implementation—and you are
genuinely passionate about teacher development and field-based work—then we are
looking for you.
