Sorry if this has been asked before but here I go!
I have been teaching in Japan for almost 2 1/2 years now with a company at public school. I want to stay long term in Japan and don’t think that salary will cut it for the long term.
I am in 2 minds about going home this year (to the UK) to get a PGCE with QTS. To then try my luck at an international school when I’m back in Japan. Will I be that MUCH more appealing to IB or British schools? I will it only show years down the line.
The PGCE course is a lot of money. If so, I’m curious with how much more it makes you in terms of money? I’m currently on 200k after tax. If anyone is willing to give a ball park guesstimation.
I really like living in Japan and worry going back home with be like 1 step forward going 2 steps back kinda situ.
Thank you in advance for any insight.
