The United Kingdom Department for Education has announced
that non-UK nationals can now apply to teach in schools in the UK.
The announcement was made early in the month of December as
seen on the UK government’s website for interested non-nationals.
Nigeria has been listed as one of the countries whose
citizens can now apply for qualified teacher status through the Teaching
Regulation Agency in the United Kingdom, from February 2023.
In order to stand a chance, eligible applicants will be required to have a qualified teacher status (QTS), a qualification awarded by the Teaching Regulation Agency.
Also note that applicants do not need a formal teacher
training qualification.
According to the publication however applicants must have “a
minimum of two years teaching experience, a first (bachelor’s) degree from a UK
or non-UK university, an English language qualification which is the same
standard as a grade four General Certificate of Secondary Education, a maths
qualification which is the same standard as a grade four GCSE to teach children
aged three to 11 in primary school, a physics, chemistry or biology (science)
qualification which is the same standard as a grade four GCSE.”
Meanwhile the following are all you need to know to apply to
train for an international QTS;
International qualified teacher status (iQTS) is a new teaching
qualification backed by the UK government that:
- is
delivered online by English teacher training providers in partnership with
schools around the world
- meets
the same standards as English QTS and leads to the automatic
award of QTS.
- is
open to all non-UK citizens, and is currently available from six
providers, with plans to roll the qualification out more widely from
September 2023
- is the
only international teacher training course that leads to the automatic
award of QTS (other courses may offer valuable training but do
not lead to QTS)
When you apply for QTS you will:
- have
to pay a fee
- not
have to undergo any further training
- not
have to visit the UK
