Morphology
The meaning 'a teacher who works in a school' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'school' (an institution for formal education) with 'teacher' (an individual who teaches). This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows straightforward noun-noun modification, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand the MWE.
Etymology
School teacher is a simple compound: school is the place where children learn and teacher is the person who teaches. So a school teacher means 'a teacher who works in a school', usually with children or teenagers rather than at a college.
