1. Pre-Primary School Teacher
Pre-Primary School Teachers deal with children of 3 to 5 years. They are the first contact children have when they step out of their home for the first time. Pre-primary school teachers thus play an essential role in helping them learn the most basic concepts that will form the base for the rest of their education. They introduce their young students to the elementary concepts of alphabets, numbers, and basic moral ideas (like right and wrong) through the means of storytelling, coloring, painting, singing, and other interesting mediums.

Senior Secondary School Teachers are known as PGTs (Post-Graduate Teachers) who teach in-depth on a particular subject they have completed their Master’s degree in. They instruct students from class 11th and 12th. As a Senior Secondary School Teacher, you’ll have to lecture and discuss concepts with students in detail, organize workshops/seminars for students, grade tests and conduct progress reports, prepare materials for class notes and presentations, and communicate students’ progress to parents.
How to Become a Secondary School Teacher: You need a Post-Graduation degree in a teaching subject (non-professional, degree courses) and a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree. You can pursue post-graduation in any discipline.
Please Note: You can appear for CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) after completion of your B.Ed.

A teacher is an influencer, mentor, guide, parent, friend and most importantly a role model to look up to. A good teacher is like a candle, it consumes itself to light the way for others and no one can tell where their influence stops, for the impact they create lasts a lifetime. So, why not tread down the lane of teaching to impact the world and create a better-educated society to live in.
