Hi Folks
I am a male in my late 40s and thinking of having a career change. I like advising and helping people, so was thinking of becoming a primary school teacher. Would I need a PGCE qualification in order to become one? Am I correct in saying that whereas in a secondary school you can specialise in one or more subjects, but in a primary school you need to be a 'Jack of all trades' ?
Also, I hear a lot of teachers leaving the profession. Is it really that bad in both primary and secondary schools?
Your thoughts would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
