Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2004 8:06 am Post subject: PGCE in Spain |
|
|
I am a Spanish national teaching in England. After a few years working in industry I decided to change careers and got my PGCE in Secondary Mathematics. Being from Barcelona I can�t help considering moving back home in a few years. I�d like to know if I can homologate my PGCE certificate in Spain, what would be the equivalent qualification (they don�t seem to have Secondary school teaching qualifications�they only have Primary teacher or Mathematics degree!) and what are the procedures that must be followed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
PS: for all those considering whether to go to Barcelona or Madrid�well being a local boy the choice is easy! Believe me guys you�ll fall in love with that city! And Catalan people are not closed-mind�the main reason why is hard to make local friends might be the poor level of English spoken by the majority even the young people�.
Trust me�.you just make a little effort in learning a bit of our language and culture and they�ll be inviting you around to their family dinners!!! |

I can't comment on your degree or give you any help with that unfortunately, but I will agree with you regarding your assessment of Barcelona.
I lived in Madrid, but if I could go back I would have probably chosen Barcelona. Don't get me wrong, I love Madrid, but Barcelona is a city unlike any other.
there are just too many reasons why! |

I can't comment on your degree either...
But hey, I'm from Madrid, and I must say that I love it.
There are things that I like better in Barcelona than in Madrid, especially the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees. And the city is prettier too. And I have lots of friends there...
But I can't help but find Madrid more friendly. I find it more laid back. Sometimes it's like an American city, where nobody's really from there and everybody's welcome.
However, I have to say that now that I'm moving back to Spain I could live in either one and be happy as a clam. |
