Secondary School Teaching Jobs
Secondary school teaching jobs are professions which are characterized by educating high school students. In Australia, the secondary level of education is consists of students from 11 to 18 years old. Aside from being divided into public and private schools, the secondary schools may also be further classified into special schools for the academically gifted, the athletically skillful, and the artistically talented.
Because education for kids between six and fifteen years of age is compulsory in Australia, teachers are naturally in demand. Since public schools provide free education and accommodate more students, they require more teaching posts than private schools. The usual requirements to land a secondary school teaching job includes a bachelors degree in education, a passing grade in the teachers board exams, and a previous teaching experience. Since the educational system varies in every Australian state, additional requirements also vary depending on the needs of the states education department.
The salary given to secondary school teachers depends on their academic qualifications and teaching experience. Naturally, those teachers who have higher levels of educational attainments and have more years of classroom exposures earn more. Because public schools are government owned, private school teachers earn more than public school teachers because they are hired by independent institutions.
