International Teaching Placements Programme
In addition to Riplington & Associates’ International Job Shadowing Scheme (IJSS) in schools, our international teaching placements contribute to teacher development and international co-operation. The ITPP provides an opportunity for overseas qualified (and retired) teachers to experience international education on a paid structured teaching placement for three to six months. Further, overseas student teachers are not exempt as they can also participate in the ITPP as tutors / learning mentors to Nigerian students who need additional support.
