skills and attributes designed to provide unique service to
meet the educational needs of the individual and of society.
Teaching is a noblest profession for it takes a heart full of
patience and understanding and it takes courage and
passion.
 Why choose teaching profession in college?

Inspire the next generation

By becoming a teacher you'll get job satisfaction that few
will experience. Other than parents, teachers have arguably the
biggest influence on a child's life. The visible results you'll see
from pupils are guaranteed to send you home with a sense of
pride!
A true vocation
Much like doctors, nurses and vets, teaching is more than
just a job. It's a true vocation. Many people work to live, but
the rewarding nature means teachers get job satisfaction
unmatched by most professions!

A passion for the subject

There are few who can use their passion in their job.
Teachers get to do this every day, with the opportunity to
instil this enthusiasm in their pupils.
A clear career path
If you have a desire to progress in your career, teaching
has a very clear path to do so. From heads of department to
head-teacher, there are opportunities to go as high as you'd
want to. 

Salary benefits
Teacher in Philippines typically earns around 31,100
PHP per month. Salaries range from 14,300 PHP (lowest)
to 49,500 PHP (highest).
International opportunities
Most countries highly value teacher training and
your degree opens up doors to explore the world. From Asia
to North America, Australia to the Middle East, there are so
many opportunities open to graduates - particularly after a
few years' experience. 

Be a lifelong learner

Nothing encourages you to continue to learn more about
a topic than when you're teaching it! Children are
inquisitive, often asking questions you'd never thought of.
This allows you to constantly research new finding and
technologies to introduce to your students.
The chance to change the future
 As the author Henry B. Adams once said, “A teacher
affects eternity: he can never tell where his influence stops.”
Or, as teacher and astronaut Christa McAuliffe put it, “I
touch the future: I teach.”

The growing demand for teachers

 The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the
teaching profession will grow considerably in the next
decade, with more than 1.5 million jobs for elementary,
secondary and special education teachers. You could be one
of them!
The satisfaction of contributing to your community
 By preparing students for lives as informed and engaged
citizens, you can benefit your community, your country and
the world.

An outlet for your creativity

The need to engage all students in learning calls upon a
teacher to be creative in adapting and developing learning
activities, and new technologies allow teachers to bring the
world – even the universe – into their classrooms. The
opportunities for trying new and exciting approaches are
endless!
A work environment that is never dull
Teachers will tell you that no two days are ever alike.
The variety of people you come in contact with, the
changing challenges, the daily discoveries all combine to
make teaching an interesting and engaging adventure.
