Update on Teacher's Employment in the UK: QTS Application date released.
English
teacher training leads to a professional teaching qualification called
qualified teacher status (QTS).
If you’re a qualified teacher from outside the UK,
you can work as a teacher in England for up to 4 years without QTS.
After that, QTS is
a legal requirement to teach in many English schools and is considered desirable
for teachers in the majority of schools in England.
This guide explains how to apply for QTS if
you are qualified to teach or have gained teaching experience outside the UK.
The Qualified Teachers Status (QTS) is a legal requirement to teach in many schools in the UK. The route to QTS was only available to certain countries. From the 1st of February 2023, teachers with teaching qualifications from the following countries will be able to apply to the Teaching Regulation Authority for QTS:
📍Nigeria
📍India
📍Ghana
📍South Africa
📍Zimbabwe
📍Jamaica
📍Ukraine
📍Hong Kong
📍Singapore
This
change is part of the launch of a new service, apply for QTS in
England. From 1 February 2023, the way we award QTS will
change.
Teachers from all eligible countries will have to
show they meet a consistent set of criteria for the award of QTS.
Over time, this route will be opened to qualified teachers from every country
