English Teaching Assistants (ETAs) will typically teach conversational English to senior high school students at selected public schools, private schools, and Islamic boarding schools throughout Indonesia, many of which are outside of major cities.
Housing Housing arrangements will be made by the Fulbright Commission in Indonesia and the schools where ETAs will be placed. Please note: Many ETA sites are in rural areas, so ETAs need to be prepared to adapt to local customs and norms. Often housing situations vary and this also requires flexibility and adaptation on the part of ETAs.
Dependents Because housing arrangements at public or private school(s) or pesantren or madrasah may include homestay situations and, due to permit restrictions for this program, ETAs may not be accompanied by dependents. Alternative housing arrangements are not permitted.
