Maestro, en España, es sólo para la primera enseñanza (tienen el título de Magisterio). Después son profesores (licenciados).
También existen maestros en otro tipo de enseñanzas, como artísticas o filosóficas. Sócrates fue maestro de Platón. Los maestros canteros fueron muy importantes en la Edad Media. |

Se le llama director (de orquesta). Cuando se le habla en privado, puede llamársele "maestro" en señal de respeto, pero no todos lo aceptan.

As somebody said before, here in Spain maestro is the equivalent to primary school teacher.
The apostles also called Jesus 'Maestro'. It is also used to refer to some musicians, not necesarily conductors.El Maestro Rodrigo.

Quote:
In UK a Schoolmaster is also a teacher, but not in the primary schools. The term is used in the secondary sector, but mostly in grammar, private and public schools. Our public schools are not public at all. Here they are the most exclusive private schools. |

Another way they use maestro in Mexico is as a respectful term of address when talking to certain types of blue-collar workers. I've personally heard it used to address car mechanics, albañiles, and painters.
