What are the advantages of pursuing a PG course in teaching? Should I opt for higher studies or pursue a job after completing JBT and why?

A Master's degree can carry a lot of weight in the teaching job market and those who have their Masters are regarded as experts in their field. In addition, a Masters is a basic requirement for teaching at the college or university level. Pursuing a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) or a Masters of Education (ME) can also help make you a better teacher. These degrees focus on teaching somebody on how to be a teacher, with a heavy emphasis on pedagogy, teaching methods, philosophy of education, and educational technology. Whereas an undergraduate degree gives you knowledge of a certain subject, a MAT or an ME teaches you how to impart that knowledge to your students. Advanced degrees in teaching also incorporate experience. You'll have the opportunity to teach in a classroom setting, under the supervision of an experienced teacher, while pursuing your degree. That way, when you graduate, you'll have a deeper understanding of what it takes to become a teacher. You should definitely pursue higher studies instead of joining a job after completing JBT.
