Description: You could teach in one of a few schools. One is a primary school founded in 1935 and therefore one of the oldest and most prestigious in Mancora. Grades go from 1st to 6th, with children's ages ranging from 6 to 12 years old. The other not far behind was founded in 1967. It is a mixed school that presently has 990 students: 587 in the secondary, 365 in the primary and 38 in the pre-school. Although there are 50 teachers who work in the school, there is a clear need for English teachers as they currently only have 3.
