Yes, regulations are becoming increasingly more strict and unless you have a degree in Education, you may have to pursue a particular program of Education courses set by the Thai government to qualify to continue teaching. Tesol, tefl, etc., courses are not required by the Thai government but some schools want to see them and others could care less.
If you want to teach at a university in Thailand, the Master's will be of benefit. It may not get you that much more in terms of salary but it will help you in obtaining the position. The advantage of teaching at a university is that lecturers at that level are not affected by the new regulations being issued by the Ministry of Education.
If you want to be a legal teacher in Thailand, it requires your having a work permit and possibly a teacher's license (university positions do not require the teacher's license). The easiest way to start down this path these days is having a bachelor's degree. Are there exceptions? You betcha.
Good luck! |
