Top 3 Differences Between Living in the UK and Canada as a Teacher
There are a few key differences between living in the UK as a teacher, and living in Canada in the same profession. In this blog, we’ll take a quick look at some of the main differences to expect…
- The key requirements
For a Canadian teacher to work in the UK, they will need to have a Bachelor or Master of Education, proving their eligibility to continue a career teaching in Britain. There are additional requirements (such as Visas) which are more associated with residency than teaching itself, but no less vital.
- Differing pace
Teaching in the UK offers a huge variety of different schools and locations, each providing a different experience. If you want to live in the countryside, there’s scope to give it a try. If the city calls to you, then London is a fantastic option.
- Traditional school system
The UK school system is more traditional than the Canadian system, relying largely focusing on grading. However, this approach is becoming more flexible with time, meaning teachers from Canada will have no trouble fitting in.
