Teachers' Day in Paraguay

Paraguay provides a unique opportunity for teachers to experience life in a country that had a rugged, distinct culture and is yet to be truly discovered by tourists. Teachers in Paraguay will find the majority of teaching jobs in the capital city of Asunción, which is also where most of the country’s private language and international schools are located. Teaching positions can also be found in other, slightly smaller cities like Ciudad del Este and Encarnacion.

Teachers in Paraguay are required to acquire at minimum an ISCED 5B educational qualification. Effective teacher professional development is collaborative and provides opportunities for the analysis of instructional practice. While teachers in Paraguay have many hours of required professional development, the definition of professional development is limited to courses, certifications, and workshops, and it omits some highly effective methods that have been linked to student achievement.
