Find out how to become a secondary school teacher

Your final year is a busy one and you will be thinking about your future career and how you are going to use that hard-earned degree.

Have you thought about training to be a PHYSICS TEACHER IN A SECONDARY SCHOOL?  You were probably inspired by some of your teachers in school and it was that inspiration which got you where you are today.
