Is it possible to attend lower secondary school without completing primary education? Are preschool teachers not required to have a university degree?
Can someone who hasn't completed elementary school enroll in middle school?
I would like to ask if a student who has not attended elementary school can apply and be trained at a middle school?
Answer:
According to Point b Clause 1 Article 28 of the Education Law 2019, it is regulated as follows:
- Middle school education is conducted over 4 years, from grade six to the end of grade nine. Students entering grade six must have completed the elementary school program. The age of students entering grade six is 11 years and is calculated by year.
Thus, for students who wish to attend middle school, it is a mandatory condition to complete the elementary school program as regulated.
Preschool teachers are not required to have a university degree
I would like to ask if it is permissible for someone to become a preschool teacher with just a college degree in teaching, or is a university degree required?
Answer:
According to Clause 1 of Article 72 of the Education Law 2019, the standard level of training for educators is regulated as follows:
a) Must have at least a college degree in teaching for preschool teachers;
b) Must have at least a bachelor’s degree in the subject related to teacher training for elementary, middle school, and high school teachers.
In cases where a subject does not have enough teachers with a bachelor’s degree in teacher training, a bachelor’s degree in a relevant major with a teaching certification is required;
c) Must have at least a master’s degree for university-level educators; a doctoral degree is required for teaching, supervising master’s theses, and doctoral dissertations;
d) The training standard for educators in vocational education institutions is regulated by the Vocational Education Law.
Therefore, for preschool teachers, a university degree is not required; a college degree is sufficient to meet the professional qualification standards.
