Surely a prerequisite to any Arts/Education degree with a major in English etc, would be Advanced English?

The problem with teaching is that it quite often fails to attract students from the top end of the spectrum. It needs more incentive.

Re: Uni / Course / Work

do it thru uni not tafe.... it will take u a lot longer if u go thru tafe.
but to do the tafe option u have to do early childhood studies and then from there try to get into uni, but i think u will have to do at least one year of primary teaching.... and then u can do ur education course for secondary

im at uni now doing teaching, some uai's are pretty low, newcastle was like 66 and if if u live in the western syd area they give u extra points (well they did last year)

I personally think you should stay away from teaching; your sentences and articulation is horrible. If you want to help Indigenous people, there should be a few TAFE courses you could look into. Have a look. Hopefuly you will find something
