@luvinit. Thank you very much for your detailed response. From what you have said, it looks like getting a teaching qualification and some school level teaching experience before applying might be the better option. Incidentally I stay next to a secondary school (local) so i will look into volunteering there to satisfy my internship experience.

I am now going to embark on getting the ideal online program that atleast includes some teaching practice. I am not very mobile at the moment thus the option of doing a second or third tier school in another continent may not be applicable. Let me work towards getting a "Teaching CV" so that i can be competitive when I start applying.

Best of luck with the summer program. Hope it opens amazing opportunities for you.

Thanx again

Thanx for your responses. @curious me I am thinking of the east African region. I would love kenya in particular. Not sure which schools there have a good reputation. I am seriously considering a teaching qualification to up my chances. May be a postgraduate dip in education .......online. But looks like all the foreign universities require one to do teaching practice in those countries. I am tied down by a job so online is more feasible. PGCEI looked a bit too general and seems to have a not so good reputation. So I want a solid course I can do online which will allow me to do teaching practice in the African country That I am located. Is that even possible. thanx again

Hi all. I am in a bit of a dilemma. I have a Phd....(sciences) . I have taught university for 5 years and have worked in industry 10 years. I am finishing my 10 industry contract next year. I am a bit confused whether to look for a university teaching position or teach high school or look for another industry job.

I hated it when i was teaching university mainly due to the pressure to publish and the fact that you would be expected to teach too many different unrelated courses. I dont think i have the energy to continue with the publish or perish mentality. I have been dreaming of teaching in an international high school.......I attended one and loved the environment........ I love teaching but i feel the university setting does not value teaching in its self but publishing which I am honestly not ready to endure again. Kindly advise on whether I am deluding my self. Would any highschool really hire a Phd Holder with lots of "university teaching experience" and practicle industry experince............. but without a formal teacher qualification like the PGCE.

What do i need to do do increase my chances of being hired if thats what i really want.

Thank you.
