Do you need Education degree to become a teacher?

I have passion for teaching and counselling where I can teach people. However, I do not wish to study Education course at university to become a teacher.

Can anyone tell me?

Thesedays, you don't have to have an education degree, but you do need to have at least a dip ed.

The dip ed. is a graduate qualification that takes either one or two years, depending on which uni you do it at.

If you plan to work for DET I think there are minimum requirements, however, if I understand correctly, there is no minimum requirements for non-government schools, however that just means the government doesn't control it, and obviously different private schools would have their own policy on this. I am pretty sure this is the case but I'm not 100% sure.

no there are minimum requirements for all schools

Goody-goody. I always knew there was some reason why I did that stupid BEd. Now its nice to know I wont be superceded.

I'm sure that the dip ed will be reincarnated as a 'masters of teaching' or something grandiose sounding like that. (Actually, I think UWS already has such a one year masters of teaching degree.)

It will contain exactly the same irrelelvant crap and will still waste a year of your life.

Pure credentialism.
