Australia's Favorable Immigrant Major —— Pedagogy

Many students studying in Australia want to immigrate to Australia, so it is very important to choose a major when applying for studying in Australia. Then let's take a look at Australia's immigration major-education.

As a big educational country, Australia has a very perfect and high-quality primary and secondary education system, and the government strictly monitors and manages education. Among them, the pre-high school 1- 10 grade is the compulsory education stage.

A brief introduction to primary education in Australia

In primary education in Australia, a teacher needs to teach several courses at the same time, such as English, mathematics, natural science, physical education and fine arts, so the comprehensive knowledge and personal quality of teachers are required. Although it is not required to be proficient in all subjects, a teacher should know a little about language, mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. He usually needs to be good at one or two musical instruments, painting or some kind of sports. Teachers need systematic and professional education, so primary education is more suitable for undergraduate study.

Brief introduction of secondary education in Australia

The secondary education system in Australia is not very different from that in China. One teacher teaches one or two courses in several classes at the same time, which is more suitable for students who go to Australia to study for master's degree. When enrolling a master of secondary education, students are usually required to study two related majors at the undergraduate level. Then, the undergraduate students majoring in English and Chinese in China had better choose the direction of preschool education.

Special recommendation: early childhood education in Australia

Early childhood education does not require students' professional background. Usually, undergraduates who graduate from any major may have the opportunity to apply for a master's degree in preschool education.

Judging from the employment situation in Australia, the demand for kindergarten teachers has been high, and with the increasing number of Asian immigrants, more immigrant mothers with Chinese background hope that there will be Chinese-speaking teachers to take care of their babies in kindergartens. After all, children care about the baby's company, and teachers play the role of playmates more. Middle school pays attention to students' learning, which is even related to students' future college entrance examination. Whether a non-native teacher can meet the teaching requirements of the school is the confusion of the school and of course the confusion of parents.

From the perspective of domestic employment, in today's China, there are more and more foreigners in first-and second-tier cities, and the education and service facilities for foreigners are gradually improving. In addition, domestic parents have realized that language learning should start with dolls, and many international kindergartens have emerged. Then, teachers with overseas professional learning background are rarely qualified for bilingual teaching in China. Foreigners and parents who keep pace with the times, of course, hope that their children's teachers are returned students with foreign qualifications in preschool education.

A highly respected profession-teacher

The Australian education industry is stable and respected, so the education major has always been welcomed by Australian students.

To engage in primary and secondary education in Australia, you must have a teacher qualification certificate. However, obtaining the teacher qualification certificate is not as simple as expected, so there are not as many students who choose education as business students, which leads to a shortage of primary and secondary school teachers in Australia. There are both disadvantages and advantages. There are few people to choose from, and the shortage of jobs means less employment pressure after graduation.

Students should pay attention to the fact that master's courses that can obtain teacher qualification certificates usually require IELTS scores of at least 7-7.5. Many schools only start school once a year, so they need to prepare in advance, so don't miss the best opportunity.

At present, there is a shortage of middle school teachers in mathematics, physics and chemistry, information technology (IT) and other disciplines in Australia. Students who plan to choose education majors should pay attention to these subjects. However, it should be noted that it is not only undergraduate graduates majoring in mathematics who can apply for secondary education majors in mathematics. Take the master of secondary education as an example. When Australian universities accept applications, can you choose the teaching direction of a subject, not according to the name of your bachelor's degree, but according to how many credits are related to this subject on your university transcript. For example, a student majoring in economics can take enough mathematics-related credits such as advanced mathematics, calculus, linear algebra, statistical principles, etc., and generally need 4-6 related courses.
