In recent years, the public school in Qeqqata Municipality has undergone rapid development. This development will continue in the coming years, and we are looking for teachers who want to make a difference and contribute to this development.
In the autumn of 2024, Maniitsoq has a new head of education and Atuarfik Kilaaseeraq has a new school inspector. The new management is working purposefully on the well-being of teachers and students, which is seen as the foundation for good teaching.
The goal is for students to achieve better results. This means that it is very important for teachers to prepare as a team and for the teachers as a team to conduct ongoing evaluations. All students meet at 8:00 AM and are finished by 1:20 PM at the latest. This results in better preparation time and more free time for students for extracurricular activities. Teaching is conducted using these methods: interdisciplinary teaching, project-oriented teaching, and differentiated teaching.
The school's focus areas are: to improve foreign languages and mathematics, as well as to develop students' competencies and social skills.
In addition, Qeqqata Municipality has focus areas for primary schools: better results in foreign languages and ensuring that all students improve their reading skills.
