The Teaching profession, which is often despised is arguably the largest body of professionals’ in Nigeria. Many people do not know that teaching is a professional with minimum entry requirements and it’s ethics.
To be a teacher is beyond just having the talent to transfer knowledge easily. The person should be trained. All qualified teachers must possess an certificate in education. These certificates are NCE (National certificate in education), BSc.(Ed), BA.(Ed) and PGDE (Postgraduate diploma in Education).
There’s quality information on Postgraduate diploma in Education (PGDE) and general Postgraduate diploma (PGD) on this blog. The PGDE is like a conversion course for graduates and HND holders who desire to become professional teachers.
Many recent graduates or experienced ones discover that there are opportunities in the teaching professions, compared to other fields. The challenge of adequate certificate comes to bare.
