To teach you must complete a bachelor’s degree in college/university. If you teach at school level like that educator I shadowed you typically major in education and minor in a specific subject( life science). The qualifications don’t stop here teachers can advance in this field and get an Honours, Masters and a

This is because in my family no one has a degree except my father. My father was a teacher, and always encourages me and my brothers to get a career.
