In Switzerland a Masters is the least you need for even say a good IT job, Banking etc. Teachers also have a padagogical background. Plus speak Swiss German, German, French and English. Job qualifications are extremely important here. Luckily we do not pay highly for education. University is about chf 600 per semester. Standards are high. It is such a pity that in other countries you pay thousands of dollars / pounds to study. Then students have this debt around their necks. What a way for a young person to embark on a career. Teachers are respected and well paid. Children also respect teachers plus students respect one another.
This is so interesting to hear about such huge differences in education. I definitely admire the set-up in Switzerland and find it so impressive with all of the languages that are spoken too!
I definitely plan on earning a masters degree in teaching, i plan on getting it right after i earn my bachelors degree and my major for my bachelors degree is a publishing major, because its always been my dream to work and do copy editing and design for a big publishing group like scholastic, harpercollins or simon & Schuster, and im earning a minor in mathematics, whenever i would be changing my mind with what i want to do as a career in my head ive always said "if this doesnt work out or if im not happy in this field anymore then ill go into teaching" so im just going straight for my masters degree in teaching right after my bachelors degree, and i want to teach k-12 mathematics but my dream is to still work in publishing that is my dream job
It is wonderful to hear you would like to work in publishing! Would you need to get the masters degree in teaching to be able to work in publishing? If not, it could be a nice chance for you to start working in publishing earlier and be able to earn money instead of potentially going into more student debt! Obviously I don't know your situation, but this is just a thought! :)
Hey answer it if possible. Early child education can be good option as a career for an international student who wants move abroad and settle over there
Are there other universities that also offer a masters programs in education through distance learning or online learning besides the University of Illinois
Great question, Tom! It really depends on your personal preference. In my opinion, a disadvantage is that you don't have actual examples of teaching to connect to what you are learning. Also, many schools do provide some financial assistance with getting your masters. The school I worked at paid for 100% of it after three years of teaching there, and my husband's school is currently paying for about a third of it.
I have completed my Integrated MA English Literature in India and now i an planning to move to UK to do MA in Education..Is it a gud option to choose this course for making teaching a career?..do help
You better do b.Ed first , MA in education and M.ED /B.Ed is totally different .if you want to teach you should do b.Ed n then m.Ed . Don’t go for ma in education. I’m currently pursuing my b.Ed in special education from Delhi University. You can apply for 2021, fee is very less I guess 5k-6k per year( for general b.Ed )
Hello, I'm actually looking into Global Studies in Ed Master's degree. My question is are there any specific prerequisite courses for someone who already has a Bachelors degree in elementary education?
That's so cool! Are you looking at the one through the University of Illinois? That was the one I took. For my program, there were not prerequisite courses with an education degree, but if you are looking at a different program, the requirements might be different.
Please could you tell me the name of the university you did your online masters in education. I am interested in it. I anticipate your response. Thanks
I got mine from the University of Illinois. Here is a link to the programs that they offer: education.illinois.edu/online-offcampus/online-masters-of-education
That is a great question! I'm sure it varies a lot based upon which state you would like to teach in, since each state is different. My guess would be if you got your masters in education from a university in the U.S. state that you would like to teach in (even if it is done online), that could work! But definitely look into more yourself!
Hey , If someone already did batchlor of computer science plus master of computer application then which specialization is good for him to do master of education
Hi! This is a going to be a question that varies a lot, depending on your location and your program, but my best guess would be a technology teacher/technology specialist route, if that sounds interesting!
Which parts are you confused about? Is there a few programs you are deciding between or thinking about? The specific programs vary a lot based upon the university, but common topics include Curriculum and Instruction, Administration, Educational Policy Studies, etc.
