This topic is old but I felt I'd rather contribute to the general knowledge than start a new one.

I am interested in the age of teachers who work in Japan. Students usually graduate at 17, 18 or 19 years of age but become teachers requires baccalaureate degree or certification? Is teaching first job or? How old is the youngest when they can go back to teaching elementary, middle, high school? Is your senpai from last year possible teacher the next?

Curious also being is for transfer of teaching staff to school in same city. If you are middle school teacher, and you decide middle school is brat, can you transfer to high school teaching in a year with same district?

Also, do teachers stick with the same students throughout their high schools, or do they change every year like in United States?
