Not necessarily B.Ed; in secondary education it is much more common for people to have BSc + (PGCE + QTS / equivalent to QTS from other countries). They should also have n years of experience, ideally, where n >= 1 at least (you don't have QTS in the UK without at least 1 year of experience).
As well as BSc + PGCE it is of course useful to have MSc, PhD, but the experience is more important.
Malu is spot on, in my experience.
If you have PhD but no experience or educational qualifications then you can look into tertiary, if you want. I am not in that bracket but I know at least one guy who taught in a Chinese university (Maths) on that basis. Around Asia there are a fair few opportunities, I'm sure.
But real teaching experience back home is the ideal qualification, always assuming you actually want to teach.
Something to bear in mind is that teaching technical subjects in China is academically demanding because the students are not afraid of hard work. Back home your 3rd degree from Loughborough in Physics (with a subsidiary in alcoholism) entitles you to a golden hello into the teaching profession, and nobody cares that you can't really teach A-level because none of the kids opt for it anyway. It's not like that in China  |
