Teaching Jobs in India

Teachers have always been one of the most prized wealth of any country. They are the foundation builders and keepers of national wealth. While some may disagree to this axiom, most know that without teachers a country will only grow backward.

Teaching in the country was one of the most esteemed jobs one could ever find and is still looked upon with respect and sincerity. Once a teacher, always a teacher. Infact the loyalty for this profession has only grown in leaps and bounds. In the beginning there were only state run schools or English schools run from Catholic charity. Today it is a different ball game altogether.

More than 15000 schools are present in the country right now with 8000 of them being private schools. With this enormous growth of schools the obvious is that teachers are always in demand.

There are different requirements of teachers across different schools and colleges and even more at universities. With pre-primary teaching coming much into being – teachers here are preferred who are young, dynamic and are ready to accept change.

For pre-primary teaching one has to complete 10+2 and do an elementary teacher training course. While some institutes also insist on graduation as the basic requirement for eligibility to elementary training. For basic teaching in schools and colleges a B. Ed. or a D. Ed is necessary beyond a 10+2 or 10+2+3 education. These are full time courses and there are no part-time or distance education. This is because the student is fully immersed in understanding the various teaching methods.

With a PhD in hand many teachers can directly get into teaching as this is one degree that is looked at with great respect in the country.

The following are a few vacancies that schools and teachers mostly have:

  • Computer training teachers
  • English teaching
  • Primary teachers
  • Economics

Payment methods
State run or affiliated schools and colleges have payments made on basis scales. These scales are mostly 6 year, 10 year, 12 year and 20 year based. According to the stipulated details in the scale will your increment happen in that year of a teacher? The beginning teacher salary can be Rs. 8000 to Rs. 15000 and increase according to the scales.

However private schools do not function in this manner. Payment to teachers is basis funds of the institute and the teacher’s competency. One can start at Rs. 25000 and grow enviably in this sector.
