Educational Qualifications

What Grade Levels can They Teach

How are they recruited

Four important components of teacher academic preparations common to ASEAN countries. 1. General knowledge and Understanding 2. Pedagogy 3. Teaching Practicum/Experiential Learning 4. Specialized knowledge/major courses Teachers in China are educated in one of three types of schools. The programs are three to four years in length, and result in both a high school diploma and an additional certificate. These programs include courses in specific subjects, methodology and pedagogy. Teachers must also undergo practical training. There are different legal requirements for certificate to teach in the preschool, elementary school, lower secondary school and upper secondary school. First class certificate- issued to teach in the preschool, elementary or secondary teachers with basic qualification of having earned a Bachelor’s Degree. To teach in the upper secondary level, the

Basic education levels in most ASEAN countries have 12 years formal schooling, divided into primary, lower secondary and upper secondary level. All primary education levels are compulsory, while in some countries the secondary level is voluntary except the Philippines

Most teachers are licensed as professionals or are certified to teach by the country’s appropriate agencies. This is done by the Ministry of Education or the teacher education colleges or universities.

The new educational system includes:  Six years of Primary education  Three years of junior middle school, three years of senior middle school  Six years of University  Varieties of technical and vocational schools

There is no standardized system of teacher recruitment in China. Teaching positions can be quite competitive in urban areas but rural areas often suffer from a shortage of candidates. As a result, they often must employ “supply teachers,” or teachers who are primarily substitutes, in their local schools. In addition to completing a degree, the teacher applicant must secure a license to teach from the prefectural board of education. A licensed awarded by any prefecture is valid in all prefectures. However, applicant is required to take prefectural appointment examinations.

The Japanese educational system is divided into five basic levels: kindergarten, elementary school (six years) lower secondary school (three years) upper secondary school (three years) and university (usually around four years).

Master’s Degree. Second class certificate- has a basic qualification of 2 years of study (62 credit units) in a university or other post-secondary institution. While to teach in the secondary level, without a Master’s Degree, the Second-Class Certificate is divided into five basic levels: kindergarten, elementary school (six years) lower secondary school (three years) upper secondary school (three years) and university (usually around four years) degree, the teacher applicant must secure a license to teach from the prefectural board of education. A licensed awarded by any prefecture is valid in all prefectures. However, applicant is required to take prefectural appointment examinations to be issued. A degree in teaching allows you to specialize in a subject area, age group, or educational setting. Training and licensing requirements vary by state, but most states require teachers to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree and demonstrated experience under the guidance of an experienced teacher.

The levels of education in the U.S. are similar to those in other countries including the Philippines  Pre- primary Education kindergarten, nursery schools, preschool programmes, day care centers.  Primary Education Elementary school  Middle School Education Grade 4-6, 5-7, or 6-8.  Secondary Education High school Grades 7-12 or 8-12.  Junior High

After following the Successful completion of an application process, a superintendent approves the applicant and then forwards a recommendation to hire to the local school board. Once signed, a teacher has a legally binding contract to work, unless guilty of a crime, fails to show teaching competency, or demonstrates egregious professional conduct. He/she is expected to complete teaching during the term of his/her contract will exception for pregnancy, medical leaves and unforeseen emergencies.

School Grades 7-8, 79, or 8 Senior High School – Grades 9-12, or 10-12. Duration of compulsory education is from entry of 6 years old to exit of 18 years old. Task No. 2: Answer the following questions based on the GTSIndex Report Title: The Global Teacher Status Index Report 1. What message do these data convey: 2/3 of the countries judged the professional status of teachers most similar to social workers? Explain your answer. Answer: In 2013, the Varkey Foundation conducted the first Global Teacher Status Index (GTSI13) to try and establish the answers to some of these questions. This showed that across all the countries reviewed, teachers occupied a mid-ranking of status with teachers recording the highest status in China, and lowest in Israel and Brazil. Teachers were most commonly thought to be similar to social workers in terms of status. In this report we are able to show that both high teacher pay and high status are necessary to produce the best academic outcome for pupils. 2. In most European countries, more respondents believe that pupils disrespected teachers than respected them. Is this situation true to the Philippine setting? Yes? No? Explain your answer. Answer: The survey showed high levels of pessimism about students’ behavior in Europe with respondents believing that more students have no respect for their teachers than they respect them. I believe that it is not true that the setting of the Philippines is the same. There could be reasons why students behave that way. It might be personal issues such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders and other emotional problems, or learning or behavioural issues. That is why is better to carefully study students with attention deficit for it might be the cause of disrespect on their teachers as well as on their colleagues. 3. Fifty percent of parents in China would encourage their children to become teachers. Would you do the same thing to your younger sister or brother? Why? Why not? Answer: No, if I have a younger sister or brother, probably I might give him/her a background about this profession but I will not be insistent. Maybe I am going to share encouragement and guidance if I see that he/she has the potential to be a teacher or maybe when he asks about it. I won’t force the profession that I want for my sibling because I want him to choose according to his interest and what he wants to become in the future. 4. Do you agree with the survey results that teachers should be paid according to student performance? Yes? Or No? Why? Why not? Answer: I couldn’t totally agree that teachers should be paid according to student performance. It is somewhat a good idea for teachers to work hard in teaching students but this idea is more than the other way around. The student’s personality, is one of the biggest factors that affects his/her performance. If a student really loves studying then his/her performance will be positive but if the student is uninterested, unmotivated, or lazy to study then it is now out of the teacher’s control hence it should not be reflected to the teacher’s salary. 5. Teachers in the 21 countries surveyed, have positive trust ratings. Do you think Filipino...
