INTRODUCTION

A teacher’s responsibility towards a child is probably more than that of the parents.
This is primarily because the child just doesn’t receive education from the school
where he or she studies, but also learns the value systems from the same people.
For taking up teaching as a career, you require a passion for exchanging ideas,
whether it is teaching at a school or in a college. In India, the available
opportunities for teachers are in a variety of subjects such as English, Mathematics,
Science, Social Studies, etc. The demand for good teachers is definitely high
considering that today’s children are exposed to the internet and the information
overflow.
To start a career as a lecturer in colleges, you may however need to take entrance
examinations along with completing your Master’s degree and Ph.D.
INTERNATIONAL FOCUS

Teaching is not just verbal and face-to-face. It has developed into E-

learning modules and online web teaching strategies as well. In this context,
the opportunities have increased manifold. For instance, if somebody is a
retired teacher with 20-25 years of experience, they could look for online
jobs and start providing tuitions online.
DIFFERENT ROLES, DIFFERENT NAMES
Teachers are called Learning and Development professionals, coaches, or mentors
within organization. Counselors who have completed their psychology courses also
teach a lot of important things to others about life and personal management skills.
Thus, while the same person is called by different names, the role played is more or less
the same. The responsibility is to educate others and enhance their development,
technically and personally.

Market watch
The market is always in need of competent teachers. With the emergence of public and
private schools everywhere and the rise of private institutes and universities the need
for professors and lecturers is on an all time high.
 STEP-BY-STEP
The course content of a B.Ed course aims at equipping teachers with the right
theoretical, practical, and analytical skills. A typical B.Ed course would include the
following topics, overall:

1. Education Theories
2. Psychology of learning and development
3. Principles and Best Practices of School Management
4. Information Communication Technology and Instructional Systems
5. Electives and evaluating education
6. Subject education
7. Practical examinations
8. Team discussions
9. Live Presentations
10. Interaction with students
 START EARLY
As a student, if we are aiming at a career in teaching, you must be aware of the colleges
that offer Bachelor’s in Education courses in the country. Besides this, you must be
willing to learn and upgrade your knowledge along with teaching students as well. You
may follow these steps and start preparing for a teaching career, after school or during
college:

1. Collect information about colleges that offer B.Ed courses. For instance, start from the
university in your respective city. If you are in Delhi, look for information on University
of Delhi website. Similarly search for information on other universities. Come up with
four to five choices.
2. Check which are the colleges that ask you to take an entrance exam. Take down the
topics that you would be tested on so that you can prepare for the same. If not, check the
minimum score in twelfth standard that you must have scored.
3. Be updated with information on schools or colleges you may apply to, after
completing the course. This is so that you are ready to take the plunge once you are out
of college.
 IS IT THE RIGHT CAREER FOR ME?
Teaching should be chosen as a career by individuals who love sharing information
and knowledge with others. At the same time, there are benefits of this career as
working hours are usually not too long.. In a day, a teacher takes about 8 to 9 teaching
sessions and can be back home for personal chores. This is the reason women usually
prefer this career.

What would it cost me?

The fee structure for a B.Ed course could be
anywhere between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 30,000.
Several universities also offer the course at much
lower fee.
FUNDING/SCHOLARSHIP
Usually, you may not be required to take a loan for studying B.Ed. However, there
are education loans of up to Rs. 7.5 lacs per year from banks such as State Bank of
India.

JOB PROSPECT
The job prospects for teachers are quite good. Work timings are comfortable and a
teacher usually takes classes between 8 AM and 3 PM. For colleges, the lecturers
can choose their class timings, which again ends maximum by 4 to 5 PM in
popular universities.
PAY PACKET
The pay packet is the best in government-owned schools and colleges. For instance, a
teacher in central school teaching primary classes gets a starting pay package of Rs.
20,000 to Rs. 25,000 depending on the class that he or she teaches. The government
schools offer perquisites such as quarters and commutation and medical allowances. On
the other hand, private schools usually offer a higher package of Rs. 15,000+ depending
on the class, education, and experience of the teacher.

Demand and supply

Teachers play a significantly important role in any society as they build the foundation of
the country’s future. The recent Right to Education act introduced in India has thrown
many opportunities for education of rural children.. Already, India has always been in
dearth of teachers in all subjects. Now, one may expect that the demand will only
increase. The supply has been less usually due to lesser salaries. However, the
government has taken initiatives to improve the situation.
