The Teaching Capacity

Secondary teachers usually specialise in a subject or group of subjects. English, science, maths, languages, social studies, art, music, physical education, home craft, commercial subjects, woodwork and metalwork, or agriculture. Some teachers undertake special responsibilities in connection with school libraries, or as careers advisers. Others specialise in the expanding field of guidance counselling, while a few become child welfare officers, or education officers in the armed forces. There are opportunities, too, in teachers' colleges and in the secondary inspectorate.
