This page follows the job from the scribal schools of Sumer through Comenius's first picture textbook, the Prussian compulsory-schooling decree and the normal schools that made teaching a trained profession, to Montessori, Freire and today's AI tutoring tools.
Teacher · What qualifications do you need to become a teacher?
In almost every country, teaching in a state school requires a university degree, a period of supervised classroom practice, and a government license or registration. The packaging differs: a four-year Bachelor of Education, a subject degree plus a training year like England's PGCE, or a master's degree as in Finland.
