Question How can I get registered in the General Teaching Council of Scotland (GTC Scotland)?
Hello, hope you are all doing well. Just for a bit of context I am an International student coming to pursue my postgraduate studies at the University of Glasgow this September. I come from a Biology background and I hold a BSc in General Biology.
From where I'm from (Lebanon) it's allowed to teach at school as long you have a degree relevant to the subject that you are going to teach. So for my case I am allowed to be a Biology teacher even though my Bachelors isn't education related.
Since I have an international student fee status, I am going to pay for my postgrad and it would make life easier if I could find a part-time job related to my profession while pursuing my studies.
From what I have seen online, most schools ask for a teaching licence, is it possible to apply for such a licence or is it strictly given to people who graduat with an education degree at a university level?
Thank you!
