TEACHING

Teaching is without doubt one of the most rewarding professions. It offers constant intellectual challenge and stimulation.

The British Government pays great attention to the teachers and has put them as a heart of the state prosperity. The country's economic and cultural future depends on high academic standards in the schools, and teachers help this happen.

Almost all teachers in England and Wales complete an approved course of initial teacher training. Initial teacher training courses (ITT) are provided by universities and other higher education institutions. Such training takes place almost entirely within schools.

Local Education Authorities and higher education institutions design the training programme.

After completing ITT the students acquire Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

The programme usually consists of three core components: School-based experience, Subject studies and Education studies.

Theory of Education is one of the main subjects. At the end of the first or second year students must make their choice as to the age-range of children they wish to teach.

Junior students go to schools for one day each week, watching experienced teachers at work. They take part in the use of the school, help with games, societies or play productions.

Senior students spend fifteen weeks on teaching practice. They learn the use of different educational aids, audio-visual facilities, observe lessons and take an active part in discussing them with a supervisor on school practice.

Examinations are held at the end of each term. Final examinations (or finals) are taken at the end of the course.
