Answer 1

There are lots of ways into teaching. I did my a levels then a teaching degree  - BA (Hons) Primary Education with QTS.

Or I could have done any degree I like e.g. English and then a one year PGCE (at uni)

Or I could have done any degree I liked and then done a course called GTP where you are placed in one school for a year and train on the job.

I do think you need a degree though to become a teacher.

Answer 2

first complete intermediate and the go to teacher training course or complete the degree and then go to bachilor of education the automatically you got lot of oprtunities in the world
