The education sector is exponentially blooming around the world and today we are here to discuss a career in the education sector in India. In today’s era, education is the most thriving business, undoubtedly with a lot of job opportunities. People often mislead thinking that this sector is only restricted to teaching. But it’s not!

India is the second-largest market in e-learning right after the US. The current value of the Indian education industry was calculated at nearly US $91.7 billion in the year 2018 and the US $101.1 billion in 2019 and the main reason here is digital learning marketing. The government of India is also taking various initiatives to expand the distance education market and the adoption of new techniques to take education to the last mile with M-Learning and E-Learning.

Some common myths related to the Education Sector

1. Teaching is the only Profession.
2. It is for women only.
3. It’s an easy job and not worth.
4. The education sector does not pay well.
5. It has no career paths.

What are the choices to do In the education sector?

1. Teaching

If you like to Teach you can work in a school or college as a Teacher or Professor. You can join the government or Private Institution based on your choice of work. You can work as a primary or secondary teacher in a school. There are a lot of choices and opportunities are never-ending. Teaching is a respectful job where you have to be patient because you are dealing with the future of the country. In Preschool teaching, the role is to make sure of the developmental goals. A primary school teacher teaches until class 5. Here a single teacher per class is appointed and teaches all the subjects. Conducting field trips and organizing fun activities also comes under the teacher’s role. The secondary school teaches requires teachers with specialized degrees in education. An expert in maths will teach maths only.

Now if I talk about the difference between private and government institutions then I would say Government schools are less demanding with fewer facilities and resources for teachers. The student-teacher ratio is higher. Private schools demand more dedication to better facilities. The average salary of a teacher starts from 2 lac to 5 lac.
