Unlike middle and high school teachers, elementary school teachers do almost all classes with all the subjects. Next, middle school and high school teachers teach a different subject in middle school, and homeroom teachers meet their students only to give reminders and announcements and during the closing ceremony.

Then, how can you become an elementary school teacher? In order to become an elementary school teacher, one must obtain a second-degree Orthodox certificate. If you pass the Elementary School Appointment Examination, you can enter the national and public elementary schools in each region.

Then, how can you get a second-degree Orthodox certificate?
