First, please understand that teaching primary grades is every bit as difficult as teaching higher ones. In fact it may even be harder. You need a four year teacher's college degree in teaching plus a major in primary education. I also suggest you visit some classes to see what is actually going on in those classrooms.

Will a Canadian university accept this from a UK school instead of a transcript

Will a Canadian university accept this from a UK school instead of a transcript?
I am applying to university in Canada having recently become a permanent resident. The application process requires me to arrange for all my former educational institutions to send transcripts of my courses and grades directly to the university. This needs to be on "official transcript paper". My former sixth form college tells me that they can send all my courses and grades on their letterhead, but they do not have any "official transcript paper". They just don't have transcripts in the traditional US/Canadian sense in the UK. Will they accept something on the college's letterhead? I have contacted the university I am applying to in order to ask, but their admissions office is in the middle of relocating and is therefore closed over the next week, typically. Sorry, just to clarify, my former college said: "Transcripts are not part of the ‘UK’ system so there is no such thing as ‘official transcript paper’ but we normally forward a copy of all your overall and module grades to the university. It is on official [college name] paper."

What they normally mean by "official transcript paper" is that it must be the official records for the school, sent by the school, not a copy or something you would send to them. Normally schools have these records computerized, and I can't imagine that in a developed country like the UK they don't have some kind of official form for this and would have to write a letter on letterhead.

UK bachelors degrees are considered the equivalent of US bachelors degrees. You are eligible to apply to US masters degree programs in engineering. The US has some of the best engineering MS programs in the world. Some that I think you should look at, with your First, include: MIT, Stanford, U California Berkeley, Cal Tech, U Michigan Ann Arbor, U Illinois Urbana, Georgia Tech, Purdue West Lafayette, Cornell, Princeton, and U Texas Ann Arbor. All have fabulous reps for ME. However, they'll probably want the GRE - check the website for each school to find out. In addition, you may have missed the admissions deadlines if your plan was to start this autumn.

It depends on type of School. Go to Department of Education website to find out. Some Secondary Schools charge between £4000-14000 term /annum. For University , it range between £6,000-40,000 per annum ( Medicine is the most expensive for non-EU/UK citizens at £15,000 per year now about 40,000 per annum.) But do not take my word for it, go to the above department.
