Teach at Turks and Caicos Islands Government in Turks and Caicos Islands

The Department of Education, under the leadership of the Director of Education, is the unit directly responsible for the daily management of education (pre-primary, primary, and secondary) including the supervision of public and private schools, student and school registration, advising schools on administrative and education issues, and curriculum review and development, among other core functions.

The Director is supported by several Education Officers who assume responsibility for the different areas of education. A number of them are multi-functional as is often the case in small jurisdictions. The administrative, secretarial and clerical staff complement the team.

There are fourteen public schools in the Turks and Caicos Islands.  Ten are primary schools and four are secondary schools. The primary program caters to the first eight years of a child’s school life.  The secondary program caters to the last five years of the child’s compulsory school life.
