Here in the UK, our education system is divided into 4 main branches: Primary Education, Secondary Education, Further Education & Higher Education. Each of these branches brings different career opportunities and requires a different set of skills. Roles in education may include teaching, streams of academia such as research, access to education, external examiner, head of a department and many more.
There are many interesting careers within education and the sector is so broad – for example, have you considered becoming a Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) expert, education welfare officer or even a career advisor?
Academic:
An academic career offers the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of knowledge in an area in which you are passionately interested. Careers in academia also offer flexibility and independence, whilst working in an intellectually stimulating environment.
