im studying dance at dmu,i have a c in english,c in maths,do i need a c in science to become a dance teacher.?

Question

iv been studying dance for 2 years at dmu and now i hav been told the law has changed and now i need a grade c in science to be able to teach at state schools,is this true.

Answer 1

I would have thought the science qualification would ony apply if you were to teach in a primary or secondary school. But if you taught at a college or dance school there may be some leeway. And at the end of the day, if you are the right candidate for the job, things like academic grades can be over-looked as it's what you can bring to the role of being a teacher which will count.
If you're still unsure, then there is always the option to re-sit your science GCSE, most sixth forms tend to let their students re-sit GCSE's - which is what I did with my maths, and I got a C the second time around.
Good luck for the future!

Answer 2

you will usually find to become a teacher of any kind you will have to have grades C or above in the 3 main curriculum subjects (which are maths, english and science)


hope this helps
