Education -- specializations, skills & career paths
Education is the discipline of teaching and learning: how a subject is broken down, sequenced and assessed so that a class of thirty actually learns it. In India the route runs through a bachelor's degree in the subject followed by a B.Ed, with a Teacher Eligibility Test for government posts. It is the largest organised profession in the country -- every district recruits every year -- and the pay scales for government posts are fixed and published rather than negotiated.
Professionals in Education teach a subject to secondary and senior secondary classes, plan lessons against a board syllabus, assess student work and take on pastoral responsibility for a class, progressing into coordination and school leadership.
