TEACHING

Next year, my daughter in New Zealand will be graduating (very confident after a 3 year course) with a good University Degree in Early Childhood Teaching. She informs me that a New Zealand degree in this subject is very highly regarded worldwide. My reason for this post is that, once she graduates, she plans to come to Europe with her family to live and work for at least a couple of years and we wondered if anyone on EOS could let us know if there is much of a requirement for this sort of teaching in Spain. She does not speak Spanish at the moment. Any info. on this subject would much appreciated.

 I think that all degrees from other countries have to be validated in Spain - which should be straight forward.  However, I think that you would probably be best looking at international or English schools unless she wants to spend the next three years flat out learning Spanish.  She needs to look at this carefully as each country has its own regulations - in England for example a degree in Early Years is not enough without QTS  (Qualified Teacher Status), and the European universities (including English) offer a lot of 'teaching' degrees which don't give QTS.  I would start with a google search and see how much info you can get that way.
