I was wondering.
I have studied early childhood education in my country (in EU), and I have been working as a teacher at various schools also in my country.
Do you think I am eligible to get a teaching position, without getting any more qualifications, in UK?
I have searched over the internet, but I couldn't find anything about it....
To work as a teacher in primary, secondary and most further education schools in the UK, you have to have a PGCE (post graduate certificate in education) or a degree with qualified teacher status. A such, I doubt you would be able to find a job or school that will take you on without a teaching qualification.
You wouldn't necessarily need to do a PGCE. Some schools take on graduates, which you are obviously, and train them on the job. You can approach schools or look out for these positions in newspapers.

oh... if you're undergrad includes a teaching qualification then you should be able to apply for teaching jobs. You may still have to do some extra training though for the uk curriculum. go to www.tda.gov.uk to check.
I found this website which might be useful:
