What is the minimum education required for a teacher job?

The minimum education required for a teacher job varies significantly depending on the country, state/province, and even the specific type of teaching job (e.g., elementary school, high school, special education). However, in most developed countries, the minimum is a bachelor's degree.

Beyond that bachelor's degree, many places require:

* Teacher certification or licensure: This usually involves passing exams and completing a specific program of study, often including student teaching. The requirements for certification vary widely.

* A specific major or minor: Some positions may require a degree in education or a related field. Others may accept degrees in other fields, provided the teacher completes the necessary certification.

* Master's degree: While not always a *minimum* requirement for initial employment, a master's degree is often preferred or required for advancement, salary increases, or specialized teaching positions.

In short, while a bachelor's degree is a common minimum, it's crucial to research the specific requirements of the location and type of teaching position you are interested in.
