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, educational institutions, leadership and management. 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. If a student has obtained a bachelor's degree or equivalent, he can become a qualified teacher by taking a postgraduate diploma course, which usually lasts for one year.
Kindergarten teachers have a high status in Australia, and they are also scarce professionals in Australia. The demand is increasing every year. Teachers are a very respected profession in Australia, with stable income and continuous salary increase opportunities. Junior teachers can get a stable salary increase if they have no bad performance before 12 years. The starting salary of junior teachers is generally around 40 thousand Australian dollars per year. In the next five years, there will be an average of about 2,400 teacher vacancies in Australian government primary and secondary schools each year.
