Differences in the qualifications of kindergarten teachers between China and Britain

1. How to become a teacher in Britain?

Preschool teachers usually work in kindergartens or nurseries, teaching children aged 0-5 and some subjects. The name of the teacher qualification certificate to be obtained is Early Teacher Qualification (EYTS).

Primary and secondary school teachers (5- 18 years old) who teach in public schools or private schools need QTS (qualified teacher status). Primary schools are not divided into subjects, and middle schools need to teach in different subjects.

Not being qualified as a teacher doesn't mean you can't be a teacher. Some private schools and six forms can also accept teachers without teacher qualifications.

2. What kind of people can apply for QTS/eyt?

To become a kindergarten teacher or a primary and secondary school teacher in Britain, applicants need to go through layers of screening and long-term training. Applicants must have:

1. Undergraduate course 2: 1 or above.

2. GCSE scores in English and mathematics are above C.

3. Professional skills test, which mainly examines the applicant's mathematical ability and English language ability.

4. Enhanced Disclosure and Holding Services (DBS)

5. If the bachelor's degree has nothing to do with the subject to be taught, you need to take the course of subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) to ensure that the subject knowledge is enough to teach students.

6. Pass the interview smoothly

3. how to get Qt/eyt?

The basic requirements of QTS are undergraduate degree and successful completion of teacher training program.

The teacher training system requires teachers to teach at least two consecutive student age ranges:

3-5 years old (early basic stage)

5-7 years old (academic year 1 grade 2)

7-9 years old (in the third and fourth grades of the school year)

9- 1 1 year (school years 5 and 6)

1 1- 14 years old (7-9 years old in the school year)

14- 16 years old (school year 10 and 1 1)

16- 19 years old (school year 12 and 13 years old)

There are two modes of teacher training: university-oriented teacher education (ITE) and school-oriented teacher training (ITT).

3. 1 teacher education (ITE)

Teacher education (ITE), that is, "university orientation", is one of the conditions for obtaining teacher qualification through the training of university professional teachers. This system is a bit like the "normal student system" in China. Undergraduate graduates can become teachers by studying teaching theory in universities and then internship in schools. Different from the "normal student system" in China, after passing the university courses, the teaching practice does not mean that you become a qualified teacher, but only obtains the "unqualified teacher status". "Quasi-teachers" can only apply for formal teacher qualifications (QTS) after 1-3 years of real teaching.

3. 1. 1 kindergarten or early education teacher

To become a kindergarten or early education teacher, you need to take a postgraduate course in early teacher training (EYITT or EYTS for short).

Schools offering early enlightenment teacher training (ITT) include the University of Bateford, the University of Essex, Northampton University, City University of London and university of greenwich. Please click here for a detailed list.

3. 1.2 Primary or secondary school teachers

You can become a primary or secondary school teacher by taking PGCE courses. The full name of PGCE course is Postgraduate Certificate in Education. The one-year course focuses on cultivating teaching skills and subject knowledge. Suitable for primary and secondary schools in Britain. Teaching disciplines include but are not limited to the following majors:

PGCE Primary Education (5- 1 1 year)

PGCE Secondary Education (Science and Physics)

PGCE Secondary Education (Science and Chemistry)

PGCE Secondary Education (Science and Biology)

PGCE Secondary Education (Physics and Mathematics)

PGCE secondary education (physical education)

PGCE Secondary Education (Mathematics)

PGCE Secondary Education (English)

Higher education institutions offering PGCE include Warwick University, Kingston University, University College London, Kingsmith University and oxford brookes university. PGCE courses can be applied directly through universities or viewed in UCAS teacher training system.

In addition to the above requirements for British applicants, China applicants also need to supplement the following materials:

Proof of English proficiency: Teachers are posts with very high language requirements, usually requiring IELTS 6.5-7.5, and Certa curriculum requires being close to the mother tongue (IELTS 8). However, IELTS 6.5 does not mean that you can be competent for your daily teaching work, so applicants need to have enough confidence in their English before applying.

UCAS teacher training application: This system allows applicants to select suitable projects, submit applications and track their own applications. Many popular projects will be closed in April, so you should apply as soon as possible.

GCSE equivalent test and professional skill test: China applicants usually have no GCSE scores and need to take the same level test. These two exams are not difficult, but they can only be taken in Britain, so applicants who want to be teachers in Britain have to apply for a tourist visa to take this exam.

Undergraduate education certification: China applicants without a British bachelor's degree need Naric certification. Please refer to the above address.

Visa: Immigration law can last for 10,000 years. To put it simply, applicants without British nationality are not allowed to apply for government subsidies or wages, but only at their own expense, at their own expense and at their own expense. According to the British immigration policy, Tier 2 work visas can be issued for physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer and Chinese in secondary schools, so China applicants who want to become British teachers can check in the category 23 14 secondary education teaching professionals on the government website.
