If you want to be a teacher in Australia, old immigrants will tell you whether it is feasible.

1. Please look up the locations of Lightening Ridge and Christmas Island on the map of Australia, because these are the working places of two students I know who have found jobs in Australia. If this is where you want to live or work, read on. If not, stop thinking about coming to Australia to be a teacher now.

2. If your undergraduate major is mathematics, physics, science, or design, and students who have achieved IELTS or think they can achieve four 8s, you can continue to read below. On the contrary, don’t waste time. Learn what you should learn as early as possible to avoid suffering later. In NSW, as long as teaching/education course graduates whose native English is not their native language, they must take PEAT (a prerequisite for becoming a registered teacher in NSW). Students who majored in English at the undergraduate level should pay attention. Level 8 of the English major is equivalent to PEAT (Professional) in NSW. English Assessment for Teachers) (compulsory exam) 4 C's, and after two years of studying in Australia, 4 B's are required. The requirement is 4 A's. You can take a single subject multiple times, and IELTS scores will not be accepted until you meet the standard. PEAT tests not only academic English, but understandings of the NSW education system. Without practical work experience, it is very difficult to pass in one try.

Note: The English level here refers to the general level of Chinese students and does not represent individual strong people.

3. If you can pass the above two levels, congratulations, you have basically achieved the strength (not the ability) to be a temperature/casual/relief teacher. If the above employment positions are not your goal, are you still willing? If you wait for 10 or 8 years, keep reading.

3.1. It is basically impossible for Chinese people to find a job by relying on ESL. There are still a large number of native English-speaking teachers from all over the world who want to teach ESL. (If your English level can surpass them, you don’t need to be a teacher. There are many opportunities to make money waiting for you)

3.2. Don’t even think about finding a job in a big city. In Plumpton High, one of the worst schools in Sydney, you can ask if there are any immigrant teachers. Or teachers whose native language is not English are permanent. In some schools that are equivalent to remote towns in northwest China (see point 1), if you are lucky enough to find a job, it is also part-time. If you want to switch to full-time, it will take more than 5 years, and you must have a full-time quota. There are still more than 20,000 people on the waiting list in NSW waiting for full-time work. Check out the NSW DET and Teachers Federation websites for application procedures for teaching jobs. None of the immigrant teachers I know in Sydney (mostly British and South Africans) have found full-time jobs.

3.3. Many students have the idea that "foreign countries are fair and rely on strength to win." Today I want to say, "seniority is more serious in Australia than in China." Stop fantasizing and rely on being a teacher to win in the world. Don’t even think about a mixed permanent job in Australia if it doesn’t last 8-10 years. In 10 years, you will be able to do well in China and become a head teacher.

3.4. For students who want to come to Australia to teach Chinese and spread Chinese culture, this idea can be put to rest. Those who have a bachelor’s degree in English cannot apply for teaching courses in Chinese. Those who have a bachelor’s degree in Chinese and whose English can reach At the level mentioned in point 2, you have great hope of becoming a pillar talent in my country's socialist construction, which is still the most lacking talent in the 21st century. There is no need to come here to seek your fantasy of a fair and just tomorrow.

To summarize, for those who want to be teachers, your goals are good, but I still advise you to change your major. Whether it is education or teaching, after the Chinese study, they will be considered turtles when they return to their country, not wasted money. Money, in Australia, you can't even compare to China's Pipi shrimps, so you spend your money in vain.
