Special Education teachers:Are there alot of opportunities instored for me in other countries?

I am from the Philippines and currently taking up Elementary Education majoring in Special Education. I took up this course because a cousin who has autism whom I love very much somewhat inspired me to work on this degree. I am just curious, what is the real deal about special educators abroad? Is their a demand for us like in countries like the US, Canada, Australia,etc somehow like for the nurses? I just want to experience working abroad and honestly, to earn more.

Virtually every state in the United States has a shortage of credentialed Special Education teachers. Each state has its own credential requirements, so you may want to do some research before you decide where you would want to live. However, in many areas, the shortage is severe enough that districts will hire people who are enrolled in the Special Education credential program but who have not yet received their credential. So you would have a good chance for finding a job in many parts of the United States.

Yes, there's definitely demand for more ESE teachers (at least in the US). You would have to be certified by whatever state you chose to work in, but as long as you have a B.A. that shouldn't be too difficult. You might have to take some more courses.

There is a 12% shortage of Special ed teacher in US. So...yes, there is opportunity here. But, you must be certified for the state you are living in...

yes because we need more special education teachers why we need them because many children are born with special need only a secial education teacher can give.
