I want to upgrade my special licence for senior high school English to a normal licence for junior and senior high school. I know there are two requirements: taking the required units related to education and your subject at university, and being in office for 3 years or more.
I have some questions related to these above requirements.
- What is the best way to take these required units? Through a correspondence college?
- Do I need to be employed as a 教員 for the 3 years to be valid? (Currently I am in my 2nd year as a 講師 in a prefectural school.)
- Can I obtain the normal licence for junior high school even if I am currently only teaching at senior high school?
If anyone has any knowledge they could share on the above, I would be very grateful.
