My wife just had her Philippine degree and recognised teacher status compared by NARIC for UK compatabiity. The result came back that it was only comparable to a UK Higher National Diploma or NVQ level 4 or a foundation degree.
Although this might be of use as an entry qualification, it seems that her degree is not valid here.
Nurses seem to have their qualifications recognised, why not teachers? I can understand that the Philippine education system is different from the UKs but all her years of training are now worthless.
