| Yes, he's right. Dress smart, walk in, smile and there's a good chance you'll land the job. |

A. QTS B. Masters. C. Degree
A very high percentage of teachers employed as teachers in educational establishments will possess one or more of the above.
The rest are not teachers - they are native speakers. Native speakers do not require these qualifications because they are simply speaking their native tongue. Anyone can do that. |

Disagree TP
A. QTS are the only qualified teachers
B Masters and C degree are just college educated people, not educators |

Specialist Subject Teachers - MA. QTS are the only qualified teachers in the UK.
I do not want to work in the UK.
However, on principle, I agree with your disagreement 
A B.ed QTS or PGCE will open many of the larger doors and open up many more career paths.

| Quite possibly. However qualified teacher status in your home country would be worth more. |

Don't need a M.Ed for international schools, just normal teaching qualifications from your home country, eg BA + DipEd or B.Ed.
Usually a prerequisite for M.Ed is that you are already a qualified teacher. It is good if you want to move up into the big international schools around the world, but not necessary for 99% of them and none that I know of in Indonesia. |
