I’m looking for a job in teaching. It’ll be my first job and I’m not sure whether to go for a private or a state school. Can somebody with experience help me with this, please?

Teachers must have proper qualifications or mastery of their field. Graduates should have at least a bachelor’s degree in the area they will be teaching. Teachers must have a qualification that is at a higher level than the group they are instructing. In Universities, teachers usually have a doctorate or masters, in secondary institutions a first degree upwards.
Being formally trained as an educator or having a degree in education is valuable. There are schools that require teachers to have teacher training certification or status. Some institutions require physical, mental, or psychological evaluation of their teachers, due to the nature of the job. There are programs that allow graduates to work in public schools gaining teaching experience.
