Thailand is an amazing place to teach English. But times are changing and Footprints is looking for the best
and the brightest to fill the teaching positions. As of March 2009, the Teachers Council introduced the following amendments (修改) to ensure that all teachers in Thailand have a minimum (最小) number of Education course credits along with their bachelor' s degree.
The following teaching requirements apply to (适用于) English teachers in Thailand:
●A foreign teacher with a Bachelor of Education degree is required to take a 20-hour course about Thai
culture in order to have a work permit to English teachers in Thailand.
●A foreign teacher with any other degree than a Bachelor of Education degree will be required to either:
☆ pass an exam on several aspects of education ( nearly impossible without Education Courses) or
☆ complete a prescribed (规定的) set of education courses through an approved Thai University
●A foreign teacher must be a native English speaker with an Australian, Canadian, Irish, New Zealand,
South African, British or American passport.
If the foreign person is employed teaching while completing the courses, they'll have to take night and
weekend courses. The courses take almost one year to complete. The cost for the courses is 60,000 baht.
Upon completing the courses, the teacher will have earned the right to apply for a teaching license in
Thailand and will then have the right to apply for a work permit to teach in Thailand. The problem is that this
teaching license and these teaching credits are only valuable in Thailand.
