Hello, which teaching subjects are very popular, or which are urgently needed? We once had a trainee teacher who studied German history, and she had to change schools after her traineeship because we had so many history teachers. I'd like to try math, but everyone advises against it. Even my math teachers always told us not to bother with it, but why did they study it then? Thank you very much.

Hello, I received my results today and have the following values: 96 and 33% Do I still have a good chance of getting a place at university? What do you think? I have NC 1.0, so that should help, but the BaPsy result is also very important
To the HR staff or anyone with a personal opinion on the topic: I urgently need your opinion. I'm planning to apply for a dual study program, and on the company's website, the required fields are marked with an asterisk. My resume is marked with an asterisk (clearly), but my cover letter and references aren't….
Hello 👋, I'm currently in 9th grade and have until the Christmas break (I know that's still a lot of time, but I'd rather be sure now that I'll get a placement where I want to go) to look for an internship for next spring (I think it should be before the Easter break). Unfortunately,…
What are ECTS points and how are they earned? And do I have to earn them during my studies? Can I use them for anything later?
But that's the reality. Most teachers change schools after their internship and get a permanent position at a completely different school. Very few stay at the same school because a place becomes available and the combination of subjects is in demand.
Thanks, math gives you the best chance, since there are few math teachers. But what other popular and "safe" subjects besides English?
German, English, history, sports… are subjects that we have on a regular basis.
Spanish, biology, physics, chemistry… are subjects we rarely have in our internship. We only have one physics teacher at school; the rest are all non-specialists! Those who study these subjects have excellent opportunities.
Hey,
German and history is the classic combination—there are far too many of them. Our school is a seminar school, so we're literally inundated with German and history classes. You'll probably get accepted somewhere anyway; the shortage is too great.
In my experience, there's a particularly glaring shortage of math, physics, computer science, biology, and chemistry—you have excellent job prospects there. If that's too scientific for you, you could always look into art and music. There's a lot of demand for those fields, too…
So you see – you have free choice of subjects!
Regarding your question about teaching math:
Math and physics are very demanding subjects, requiring a certain amount of skill and perseverance. The reason most teachers advise against them is probably because they're all already completely exhausted and burned out…
Best regards!
By the way: I just remembered that there is still a huge shortage of foreign languages: Latin, French and English are also great 🙂
Thank you so much! I found out today that I was accepted for the German/Math combination, but I just chose that. I actually wanted German/Biology, but I wasn't accepted because of Biology. What I don't understand, though, is that I have an average of 1.8, and there's a teacher shortage. I'm really pissed off right now. Thanks again.
Oh dear… I find what you're describing the saddest thing: There's a huge shortage, but those who want to do the job are harassed and have obstacles put in their way…
Wishing you all the best!
Hi,
In general, teacher shortages are often in the so-called "STEM" subjects (math, computer science, natural sciences, technology), as well as in subjects like music or foreign languages. A history-German combo sounds great too, but of course, when there are already plenty of teachers, it can be tricky. 🩶 Math isn't easy for many students, hence the warnings from math teachers. But thankfully, some teachers do it anyway because they enjoy the challenge and want to pass on their enthusiasm. In the end, what really interests and motivates you is what matters. If math is your thing and you can teach it with passion, you could really make a difference! Remember, being a teacher isn't just a job, it's a calling. Do what fulfills you! 🫧☀️
Best regards

Thank you so much. The math you learn in high school really has nothing to do with the math you learn in college. Apparently, it goes way beyond that. That's why it's hard to weigh up whether it suits you or not. I found out today that I've been accepted into the subject combinations except biology. Apparently, I pressed the wrong button for biology, since German is for teaching and biology isn't. I'm really annoyed right now. I had biology as an advanced course, and it was great. I should enroll for next semester.
All natural sciences, especially chemistry and physics (there are enough teachers for biology), also mathematics and computer science
Latin and Ancient Greek for the humanistic grammar schools – there are only a few of these left, but they are now having great difficulty finding new teachers for these subjects.
Eurythmy (this subject is only offered at Waldorf schools).
All teachers are needed, but not everywhere. In the STEM field, you're most likely to have "free choice," and especially for civil servants in large federal states, working in a shortage area can also provide some protection against transfer.
I wouldn't recommend German to you unless you see the error in "everyone advises against it."
Math is pretty tough for most people in college, and you'll have little use for what you've painstakingly learned in real school life. Definitely not as your first subject (if possible). I'd rather take a natural science. That's at least something you can find interesting even without a fetish.
As a teacher, your state will send you wherever you're needed. This could be around the corner or 250 km away.
The federal states publish demand forecasts, which are also broken down by subject depending on the type of school. In general, there is an increasing demand for teachers, but this varies depending on the type of school and the subject. For example, in many places, there is actually an oversupply in history.
Das mit dem hinschicken wo Lehrer gebraucht werden ist doch nur wenn man verbeamtet ist oder nicht. So hatte es unser Lehrer erklärt gehabt
In allen Bundesländern, selbst wieder in Berlin, werden die Lehrkräfte grundsätzlich verbeamtet. Und es gilt auch, wenn man ein unbefristetes Angestelltenverhältnis beim Staat hat, es sei denn in dem Bundesland gelten schulscharfe Bewerbungen.
In the STEM subjects you usually have the best chances,
because, unlike the chatter subjects, they have to do with thinking
and are not easy to teach either.
Currently, the usual pig cycle no longer exists.
