Q. Why Teacher Licensing is important? Explain the

recommendations for Teacher Licensing in Pakistan with
respect to National Education policy?
The academic qualification needed to work lawfully as a teacher in a certain subject area is a
teaching license (in countries abroad as well as your home state, province or country).

1. This could boost your income potential.

First and foremost, all of us adore money. I am aware that getting a teaching license is the
quickest way to guarantee yourself consideration for a higher salary in education. When hiring
professors, most schools give them a fairly wide range of pay. The number of years a candidate
has spent as a teacher overall and their credentials as a qualified teacher, such as: B. A license
with the necessary education, scaled. For example, a job description for a school might list a
salary range of 20,000 to 50,000 PKR per month. We commonly encounter dissatisfied teachers
who wanted a higher salary but were dissatisfied with the one that was being provided. The
reality is that lower pay ranges are often more

2. More Job Options

The academic community and Teaching Nomad work together in China, the rest of Asia, and the
Middle East. Teachers who desire to work at an international school have a variety of options.
However, a sizeable portion of organizations on the international market do not consider
applicants without a current teaching license. Getting a teaching licence is the easiest way to
open up more options and be considered for more jobs than you would otherwise.

3. Able to go back and teach in their country of origin

Although it's quite conceivable for a teacher to work abroad for more than 10 years, most return
to their home country eventually. When teachers return home, they frequently have trouble
finding teaching employment there, and many of them are jobless for months before they find a
way to survive. However, educators who have the required certifications and worldwide work
experience can just go back to where they were born. Schools in the US, UK, Australia, New
Zealand, and South Africa are continually in need of new teachers. As one might anticipate, a
teacher cannot legally hold these positions without a current teaching license. Many of the
instructors we work with are enthusiastic about their work but lack formal education and/or have
never taught before moving abroad. Without a teaching license, many educators are unable to
return to their native countries and continue their careers as educators.

4. Make yourself a more compelling candidate.

The competition is fierce in the international education market. Many of our most prominent and
wealthy schools receive hundreds of applications throughout the recruitment process. There are
frequently more than 30 applicants for a single position. How is one selected from among 30
candidates? If you have a teaching license, schools will take your application far more seriously,
increasing your likelihood of getting an interview and a job offer. and two of them hold teaching
credentials. These are the two of her certified teachers who will be the first to be interviewed and
hired. It is even possible that when a licensed teacher applies for a position, none of the other
applicants won't be considered.

5. Become a Better Teacher

The international education market is extremely competitive. Hundreds of applications are
submitted to some of our most prestigious and wealthy schools during the recruitment process. It
is not uncommon to see more than 30 candidates for a single position! How is one chosen out of
30 applicants? Schools will take your application more seriously if you have a teaching license,
increasing your chances of securing an interview and a job offer. and two of them are trained
teachers. Those are the two certified teachers that will be interviewed and hired first. When a
licensed teacher applies for a job, it is possible that none of the other candidates will be
considered.

Q. Explain the recommendations for Teacher Licensing in

Pakistan with respect to National Education policy?
Without a doubt, the country's education system and the competence of its teachers are reflected
in students' startlingly low learning levels. The list is not exhaustive, but systemic faults such as
a political recruitment and placement process are to blame for some of Pakistan's most serious
difficulties with teacher quality. Use of Teacher Trainees in Training Facilities is Unjustified.
There are insufficient chances and resources for CPD, as well as a lack of effective QA
mechanisms.

Policy Overview
Raising the quality of education has received a lot of attention recently, as it has recently been
put to the top of the agenda for school reform. As a result, the 2009 National Student-Centered
Education Policy (NEP) was based on this. The NEP incorporated education. As a means of
achieving this goal, policy has defined and state governments have approved two important
methods. In 2009, the National Professional Standards (NPST) for Teacher Licensing and His
Teachers were introduced. based on the skills of the standard, particularly the development of
educational abilities and the capacity to support effective learning The purpose of this policy
initiative was to develop a system that recognizes and rewards innovation and exceptional work,
hence attracting top talent to the sector.

Certified Teacher
A teaching certificate is necessary in most countries, which helps novices to the sector enhance
their skills. Among the benefits of teacher certification are greater parental and student trust in
instructors' experience, qualifications, professionalism, skills, and training.
Furthermore, other stakeholders, such as education managers, have access to a large pool of
highly trained teachers. Education departments and teacher education programmers can control
and manage faculty at higher management levels, as well as obtain precise statistics for faculty
deployment, subject specialization, and strategic planning. Established career development tracks
and mechanisms for continued professional development are streamlined for in-service teachers.
The certification effort will undoubtedly benefit aspiring instructors. exhibits professionalism
while feeling safe and confident that you are meeting the open, understandable, and universal
needs Because of the standardization of professions, they can use their licenses to teach in both
the public and private sectors. Existing teachers were also considered when formulating the
policy in order to give a tiered approach to license implementation. New teachers must initially
get Quality Teacher Status (QTS), while veteran educators are encouraged to upgrade their
credentials. The newly established Part-Time Associate Degrees (ADE) and B.Ed. (Hons)
programmes in Continuing Professional Development or Education bridge courses and accelerate
the teacher training process.

Challenges
Significant challenges have to be overcome in order to incorporate state teacher licensure as an
essential component of the NEP's methodical implementation. The development of a reliable
mapping/projection system for instructors was required due to a shortage of accurate data from
the 4,444 teachers on duty. Furthermore, while licensing will have an effect on teacher
placement and recruitment, incentives to improve the credentials of her current instructors will
be required. Among these incentives are: In the end, it was difficult to create frameworks for
teacher certification in 4,444 states and to ensure outstanding training at 4,444 teacher training
institutes (TEIs). To meet the standards of the licensing system, teacher education institutions
must have strong institutional leadership and significant staff development. The development of
a body or organization capable of developing policies for teacher preparation and successful
teaching methods, in particular, is required for the efficient management and regulation of
licensing operations.
To recommend future CPD paths, organisations should conduct research and collaborate with
other key entities in charge of developing curricula and textbooks. Synergies must be formed
throughout the educational system in order to achieve the desired goals of teacher education. The
state was expected to have additional challenges in filling such a job with a fully qualified and
experienced team. The primary goal is to ensure that unions and education professionals are
included in the process and that their concerns are addressed through open policy dialogue. It has
been difficult to put education policy into practise since the educational system was
decentralized. The provinces were not adequately prepared for this enormous structural change.
However, these reform proposals have been implemented in all federal states.
The 2013 State Teacher Education Strategy will lead all states' efforts to reform teacher
education. While Punjab has a strategy, Sindh is leading the way in terms of implementing
teacher certifications and licenses. Azad Jammu and Kashmir established the Teacher
Certification and Licensing Authority in 2011, however it is not yet operational.
The Sindh Teacher Education Development Authority (STEDA) was formed in 2012 to oversee
the growth of teacher education in the state. The major goal of these organizations is to raise
educational standards through teacher accountability in order to achieve accreditation criteria for
providing teacher education services. STEDA streamlines teacher licensing and modifies teacher
recruiting and service criteria to ensure competency-based hiring. Meanwhile, STEDA is
working on a framework, regulations, and tools, as well as campaigning for teacher certification
and licensure. STEDA has developed a council to coordinate state teacher education and has
begun to build capacity for quality assurance.
Overall, the school system, particularly new teachers, will benefit from teacher certification as a
quality assurance tool. These initiatives are a step in the right direction, and they have the
potential to increase the level of education in the country provided they are carried out while
maintaining high standards of excellence, transparency, and accountability. However, it is
unknown how much these measures will effect student learning levels and instructional quality.
