At present, with the rational consideration of international students studying abroad, we no longer only consider the so-called school rankings, but more consider the future employment prospects of our majors as the primary consideration.
Education major is one of Australian immigration majors. Because there is a great demand for teachers in Australia, it is easier for this major to find a job after graduation than accounting. Some liberal arts students often turn their attention to education and translation because of their poor mathematical foundation and their resistance to accounting major.
Second, the main advantages of being a teacher in Australia
1, a government civil servant with a high pension. Australian civil servants enjoy a pension of 17% of their salary every year, and the pension for other occupations is 9% of their salary.
2. Stable income and high starting salary. The salary of fresh graduates for four years is 49,050 Australian dollars, and it is 60,000 Australian dollars after three years of work. The Australian Teachers' Union and the New South Wales Government reached an agreement on the salary level of teachers in 2006-2008. Among them, the starting salary of new teachers in the first year of university graduation is: 4,7621A from June 2006, 49,050 A from 2007 and 50,522 A from 2008.
3. Short working hours: working hours are from 9 am to 3 pm.
4. Long holidays: 4 paid holidays each year, including 2 long holidays and 2 short holidays.
5. There are many opportunities: the United States, Britain, Canada and other countries generally lack primary and secondary school teachers, especially middle school teachers in science and engineering. Australian primary and secondary school teachers are warmly welcomed by the United States, Britain, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan and other countries, and provide round-trip air tickets, accommodation subsidies and generous salaries of more than $50,000.
6. There is also a shortage of teachers in Australia. The immigration policy is loose and the processing period is short. State governments can sponsor immigrants over the age of 35.
Third, how to become a primary and secondary school teacher in Australia
Australia is a big country with developed education and a perfect primary and secondary education system. Primary and secondary schools are divided into public schools and private schools. Public schools are owned and managed by the government, while private schools and church schools are owned and managed by private individuals or churches. Generally speaking, private schools are run by churches. Australian primary and secondary schools start classes every year at the end of 1 and end in mid-February. They are divided into four semesters, each semester is 10 week. There are winter and summer vacations and short vacations between two semesters.
As an international student from China, if you want to become a registered primary and secondary school teacher in Australia, you have to complete your degree in Australia like other professions, and then apply for a teacher career evaluation. The professional assessment agency is the Australian Teachers' Association-Overseas Skills Assessment Office. It is a designated institution for professional evaluation of teachers in kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools. The Australian Teachers' Association judges whether your skills and academic qualifications meet the teaching career requirements of the immigrants you nominate by evaluating your teacher skills and academic qualifications. Therefore, in order to obtain the teacher immigration assessment certificate, you must meet the requirements of relevant academic qualifications, majors and English. The specific requirements are as follows:
1, bachelor's degree certificate.
2. At least one year of pre-service teaching practice with the nominated teachers.
3. At least six weeks of supervised teaching practice related to the nominated teachers' occupation.
4. IELTS score: all parts of listening, speaking, reading and writing should be above 7 points.
