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

Hello, This is a very interesting query or proposition! Let us first understand meaning of these terms and then we can see advantages or drawbacks. BTC is acronym for 'Basic Training Course'. This is a two year course and these who pass out can be employed as teachers in Primary schools. This course can be done by those who have a graduate’s degree. After successful completion, one can employed as primary teacher. PG as the name suggests is a postgraduate course also of two years duration that can be done after graduation. BTC can get you a job in Primary section of the school and of course lesser pay. PG can get you employment in a college or in a school if B Ed is also done. But in school one can become principal too. On the other hand one can progress further in college if PG is followed by PhD and passing of NET. Can become Principal of college or even vice chancellor of a University. But then again, if financial conditions do not permit further studies then one can get job with BTC. To conclude, I would say that one should pursue BTC and job only if financial conditions do not permit further studies. Else, without doubt, PG should be preferred.
