Uganda English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Program in Uganda aims to strengthen educational and cultural relationships between the United States and Uganda. It also provides a professional development opportunity for Americans to advance their teaching skills while living in Uganda. ETAs will be placed in public universities, public secondary schools or with the American Center in Kampala and work with learners on topics such as academic writing; and professional use of English Language for resume writing, interviewing skills and grant writing. Uganda is a vibrant country in East Africa composed of more than 50 different ethnic groups. While not the first language of most Ugandans, English is nevertheless widely taught from a young age and considered the standard official language of communication. The program runs for 9 months starting in September 2026, with ETAs expected to arrive in late August/early September. A mandatory in-country group orientation with a security briefing will be provided by the U.S. Embassy in Kampala upon arrival.
