The scope of the Lecturer post is better compared to the school teacher. The qualifications required for both the posts are different from each other. Lecturer post is better in terms of salary also compared to the school teacher. To become a lecturer, candidates must have passed Master’s Degree in the relevant subject and should have cleared NET or SET or MPhil or PhD. For the school teacher post, candidates with a Master’s Degree or Bachelor’s Degree in the relevant subject and B.Ed is only required. Both school teacher and lecturer posts are well respected in the society.
