What are the vacation times I will have during the year?
There are two long school holidays during the year. The first one is from mid-April until mid-May. The second holiday is in August for about 2 weeks. School ends at the beginning of December and does not start again until mid-January. There are also several other national holidays throughout the year that will provide you with long weekend breaks. Q: Can I come home during the year? A: You are an employee of the Ministry of Education and are responsible for teaching full time for the duration of each school term. If you choose to travel home during the year (during school vacations, for example) this will be at your own expense. WorldTeach provides one round-trip ticket for each volunteer. If friends or family wish to visit you during your time in Namibia, we recommend that they plan their trip during a school vacation, so that you will have time to spend with them. Q: Will there be a chance to travel to other places? A: Absolutely! You will have opportunities to travel during weekends
