About Divine Mercy Primary & Secondary School

Divine Mercy Primary & Secondary School is located in Asokoro, Abuja, at Plot 328 Jimmy Carter Street, opposite Stratton Hotel. Public school directories describe it as a co-educational institution with primary and secondary education, while other listings note day and boarding facilities.

The school is also listed by the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) under Abuja/FCT schools.

What the School Is Looking For

The school is looking for a teacher who can combine subject knowledge with effective classroom practice.

Important qualities include:

• Strong knowledge of Economics and a genuine interest in teaching.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
• Effective classroom-management abilities.
• The ability to deliver engaging, student-centred lessons.
• Familiarity with modern teaching methods and digital learning tools.
• A commitment to academic standards and students’ personal development.
• Willingness to work collaboratively with other members of the academic team.
• An interest in continuous professional development and new approaches to teaching.

Minimum Qualifications and Requirements

Applicants should meet the relevant requirements for the position, including:

• NCE, B.Ed., BA/BSc or an equivalent qualification in a relevant field.
• PGDE, where applicable.
• TRCN certification — mandatory.
• NYSC Discharge or Exemption Certificate.

The vacancy does not state a specific number of years of teaching experience. Applicants should therefore focus on demonstrating their subject knowledge, teaching qualifications and ability to work effectively in a classroom environment.

What Makes a Strong Economics Teacher?

Teaching Economics effectively involves more than knowing definitions and theories. Students need to understand how economic ideas relate to real situations, from household decisions and markets to employment, inflation, production and government policy.

A strong candidate should be able to turn difficult concepts into lessons that students can follow and discuss. Good classroom management is equally important, particularly when working with students of different abilities and learning styles.

Experience using digital learning tools can also be useful, as the vacancy specifically mentions modern teaching strategies and digital approaches to learning.

Professional Development

The vacancy places emphasis on professional growth, continuous development and innovation.

Teachers applying for the role should therefore be prepared to keep developing their classroom practice rather than relying solely on their initial teaching qualification. This may include learning new teaching techniques, using appropriate educational technology and working with colleagues to improve students’ learning outcomes.

A teaching CV should make your qualifications and classroom experience easy to identify.

Before applying, check that your CV clearly includes:

• Your Economics-related academic qualification.
• NCE, B.Ed., BA/BSc or other relevant credentials.
• PGDE, where applicable.
• TRCN certification.
• NYSC Discharge or Exemption Certificate.
• Previous teaching experience, if applicable.
• Subjects and classes or age groups you have taught.
• Experience with classroom management.
• Use of digital learning tools or modern teaching methods.
