My Thai granddaughter intends to become a teacher, starting on that path in the next school year.

Anybody else experienced what this involves, how many years, what are the costs? 

I will of course be making inquiries directly but should like to work out which questions to ask... through a translator of course.

Rajapat Universties are, in general, teacher training unis.

 

Most provinces have one based in the centre of town.

 

The courses are not expensive, certainly not on a par with engineering or medicine degrees. 

 

4 year courses, of which 1 year will be work experience in a school.

 

Sadly, alot of the time the schools treat the student teachers as office juniors. They do get teaching experience but are also expected to do many menial tasks.
