Recently I contacted some colleagues and asked why they had chosen to work in education.
And without sounding like I’m presenting Family Fortunes their top answers included:
- It’s more than just a job – you get the chance to make a difference
- No two days are the same – it keeps you entertained
- You become not just a teacher but a lifelong learner
- It’s generally a secure profession – a job for life if that’s what you want
- It’s a profession that allows you to be flexible in terms of where you choose to live and work – your qualifications and skills are recognised nationally and internationally
Now I have to say I don’t think that’s a bad list……it contains a great balance between altruism and personal gain. Educating the next generation is one of the most important jobs that exist. To be part of a profession that helps shape the future is a true privilege.
Unfortunately, across the country the education sector is suffering a recruitment crisis. Schools are crying out for skilled and committed individuals, who are driven by a desire to contribute more widely to society.
And don’t worry you don’t need to be a teacher to work in schools. Like everything else, life in schools has changed and this brings lots of opportunities.
