Quite hard as the number of applicants is much higher than the number of openings. Priority will be given to those who have held managerial/professional level positions in reputable organizations.

2) Art teachers generally teach only 1 subject (art) in secondary school?
Not really. I know some schools roster them to fill in as relief teachers as well. They are also expected to take on non-teaching work.

3) I often hear teachers saying that teaching is a very stressful job due to the many subjects and politics etc, but if u're teaching art alone, it's going to be an easier life?
Teaching is a highly interactive job with students, parents, colleagues and management as your stakeholders. There is no such thing as teaching art alone. If you want an easy life and be a loner kind, teaching is not for you.
