Re: What to do after PGCEi being useless?

That’s very unfortunate. I spent 12 years of my education in a british school. Another 2 years in a british university and another 4 in a Canadian university. And to be turned down because my nationality is Lebanese does not give me hope in the international education system.

Re: What to do after PGCEi being useless?

Hi TCH,

I’m Lebanese. My subject is Art and Design. I am unsure if it has any utility. From what I’m reading, my chances of employment are very low.

What to do after PGCEi being useless?

Hey everyone!

I recently finished all my theoretical modules and will be completing my ITT placement soon (August). I have learned that my PGCEi is pretty much useless in getting my a job in the Middle East. I’m currently living in Kuwait and will be using an accredited certificate that I obtained from Kuwait a few months prior to enrolling in the PGCEi program. Unfortunately, I can’t use it outside of Kuwait. I also would love to leave Kuwait, I don’t want to stay here.

What can I do now? Do I need to do Teach Now to get my license? Or is there a way to get license using my PGCEi? I have studied and written essays for 9 months, I have learned a lot about teaching. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher but now my dream seems no closer than it was 9 months ago because of how useless the PGCEi is. What do people here suggest I do?

Regards,
AD
