Is it required to have a diploma and/or license to be a teacher in a state school in Thailand?
If you want to work as a teacher at a formal school in Thailand, you must meet the TCT’s requirements regarding the teacher license. You can obtain a temporary teaching permit, this is something that the school will apply for on a teacher’s behalf as soon as he/she begins work there. It is granted for two years and allows the school time to get the teacher to meet the requirements of the TCT to obtain a teaching license from them.
The TCT stands for The Teachers Council of Thailand. It was formed in 1999 by Chuan Leekpai’s government as part of the the National Education Act of 1999which provided for the Reform of Teachers, Faculty Staff, and Educational Personnel and included the formation of the Teachers Council of Thailand (TCT).
The Teachers’ Council of Thailand issues the license that allows you to practice the profession as a teacher under the its law and regulations. The license is valid for 5 years.
