    Is teaching experience required to be a teacher, or is it possible to teach and purse my degree at the same time. If it is possible, what is the procedure?
    Community Answer
    It depends on the school you want to teach. Most schools, especially middle and high schools (O levels and A levels, 6-12 grade/year) require you to have a degree. Private schools are even stricter about this. If you are planning to teach for elementary school, you might be able to slip by. If you are close to graduation, you could also negotiate with the school and maybe come to an agreement.
