I am now a fully-qualified teacher (in a permanent position)
In France, newly qualified teachers often have to do "locum" type work for the first year or two, before they are giving a permanent position in a school.
Unlike in the UK (and other countries), in France the government allocates teachers to schools, so you are employed by the local authority, but have no choice of school.
"titulaire" means that the teacher has finished this "probationary" period and has now been given a permanent job.

Did you read my explanation of what "titulaire" means in France? It is a term used for all civil servants (i.e. therefore including teachers) meaning that they are permanent employees. It does not refer to a qualification or diploma in this context.

Amandine (X)
: IIn France titulaire for a teacher refers to his education, he or she has the CAPES or agregation. nothing permanent here as some titulaire can work in the private sector as well and that does not imply permanent job.

A \"professor\" teaches at the university level. A \"teacher\" teaches high school, elementary. In university, you are first hired as an assistant professor (usually a 2-year probationary term). After, you become an Associate Professor (probation over, tenure obtained). Then (x years later), you can apply for \"Full professorship\".

translatol
: This translation is at any rate correct for Canada, where associate professor is professeur agrégé. However in France one can also be professeur titulaire in a lycée as well as at a university.

Julia Gal
: The poster says the person in question is in France, so "professeur" would most probably be a (school) teacher, rather than a (university) professor.

comment
The answer will depend on where the asker lives and whether his son teaches in a school or a university, both of which the asker presumably knows! In any case it means that the son now has a tenured post (though he may previously have occupied a lower-ranking tenured post if he's in university teaching).
Note that the progression to tenure outlined in the two previous answers is an ideal sequence which is now quite rare, and that in most UK universities teaching posts are lecturer and senior lecturer, rather than assistant/associate professor.
