    For primary teacher roles (Classes 1-5), the DElEd (Diploma in Elementary Education) is the direct qualification, focusing on foundational teaching for younger learners. In contrast, a BEd (Bachelor of Education) is a broader undergraduate degree that qualifies you to teach secondary and higher secondary levels (Classes 6-12), and while historically considered for primary, its eligibility for primary roles has been subject to controversy and clarification by the Supreme Court. Choose DElEd for immediate entry into primary teaching and BEd for teaching higher classes or administrative roles.
