Which countries can I choose to study in education?

Among all kinds of study abroad majors, education major is also a very popular study abroad major. So what about its study abroad? Let's talk about the education majors in various countries, so that students know how to choose.

First, the United States: one of the preferred majors for liberal arts students to apply for studying abroad.

The majors close to teachers in the United States mainly include pedagogy, psychology, educational management, primary education and special education. Generally speaking, education is still one of the first choices for liberal arts students to study in the United States, such as high school liberal arts students and undergraduate English majors.

In recent years, the number of applicants for education majors has been increasing, but it is difficult to apply for the exam because of the small number of students admitted to various colleges and universities. In the future, with the continuous increase of the total number of students studying in the United States and the emphasis on the education industry in China, the number of applicants for education majors may continue to rise.

In the United States, the application for education major has no special requirements for students, which is roughly the same as other majors. In the master's application, in addition to the routine requirements, some majors also require applicants to have work experience, mostly teaching experience.

Students who intend to apply for education majors should be fully prepared in both knowledge and practice. They should not only master the corresponding pedagogy principles and teaching contents, but also actively participate in educational practice activities, such as teaching and speaking, so as to prepare for their future career as teachers.

Second, Britain has special requirements for the application of pedagogy.

Education majors in Britain mainly include pedagogy and teaching English to people who speak other languages. The application requirements of these majors include general application materials such as average score, IELTS, recommendation letter and resume, as well as special requirements.

For example, pedagogy is classified according to the type of master's degree, and master of arts only requires social science background; Master of Education requires a professional background in education. Most institutions also explicitly require applicants to have work experience in education. Teaching English to people in other languages requires applicants to have a higher IELTS score, and top universities require an IELTS score of at least 7.0. The employment rate of education in Britain is very high. According to the statistics of 20 12, the British teachers' income ranks 1 1 in the whole country, in which the annual salary of primary and secondary school teachers starts from 30,000 pounds, that of university teachers starts from 42,000 pounds, and that of professors reaches 67,000 pounds.

Three. Australia: Education major is immigration major, so it's easy to get employment in the local area.

In recent years, the applications for education majors in Australia are on the rise. The reason is that the education major is an immigration major in Australia, and there is a great demand for local teachers, especially the technical, natural science and math teachers in middle schools. And with the rise of Chinese fever in western countries, graduates with bilingual teaching ability have great competitiveness.

Education majors in Australia are generally divided into two categories, one related to teaching and the other related to education management, both of which are related to teachers. Teaching-related majors include preschool education, primary education, secondary education and higher education. The majors linked to education management include student behavior management, career development, leadership and management of educational institutions, etc.

Teaching-related education majors, whether undergraduate or master, have very high requirements for students' English, generally reaching 7 points in IELTS, and even 8 points in individual projects. Students who want to study this kind of major should pay attention to improving their English.

4. Canada: Motorist Rhodes specializes in early childhood education.

Teacher-related majors in Canada mainly include pedagogy, teacher education, preschool education, adult education, educational evaluation, English/French as a second language teaching, and teaching leadership. Among them, pedagogy, normal education and English/French as a second language teaching have a high proportion of domestic students applying.

In recent years, preschool education is becoming a hot spot for students going to Canada. The shortage of preschool teachers in China makes the graduates of this major more popular after returning to China. Most education majors in Canada have no special requirements for applicants at the undergraduate level, and interviews may be added when accepting applications for preschool education majors.

At the postgraduate stage, applicants need to have high language scores, usually higher than IELTS 7 or equivalent scores in other language tests. Some disciplines require students to provide relevant educational on-the-job experience, and may require students to provide writing samples and other auxiliary application materials.
