I am beyond the “I don’t care anymore” phase. “Teachers” with no degrees are replacing those with bona-fide degrees AND experience. One of the guys I know is teaching at the university. I really don’t understand how can it be. I don’t mean to rain on anybody’s parade, but WTF**g hell? Get the degree FIRST, and then teach. And it better be an Ed. Will the Thais enforce the law? I sure hope they will.
Thanks for all the comments guys.
Mike, could you email the name of the place that you say has weekend courses towards a Bachelor degree please. I get emails, quite often, from people here who DO want to get qualified. I can pass the info on to them.
Thanks!
In response to Jay, this is interesting. my degree in Thailand took 3 years so I’m not sure how they can say a UK degree of 3 years is not valid if a Thai one is.
I agree, teachers should be qualified. What worries me, is that my UK 3 year degree (which is standard in the UK), won’t be recognised by the MOE, as they state a 4 year degree is required for a teachers license! Have any British nationals got their license yet, based on their UK degree?
I agree with Jack, it isn’t fair on the people who have taken the time and money to study. These people should be shopped to the Ministry of labour.
