The application for interested non-UK citizens was launched in an early December article on the website of the UK government by its Department for Education.

Nigeria has been added by the British government to the list of African nations whose residents will soon be able to apply for certified teacher status through the Teaching Regulation Agency starting in February 2023.

Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Jamaica, Singapore, South Africa, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe are some other nations.

For people who are applying for teaching employment from abroad, a work visa or other immigration status is now necessary in order for them to be able to work in the UK. A skilled worker visa from their company will also be required.

The application for interested non-UK citizens was launched in an early December article on the website of the UK government by its Department for Education.

The government offers a training program for future migrants, so the applicants may not even need first teaching certifications, according to the article.

 “From February 1, 2023, teachers who qualified in the following nine countries (listed above) will also be able to apply to the QTR through the TRA. The announcement stated.

“This change is part of the launch of a new service.

“Teachers from all eligible countries will have to show they meet a consistent set of criteria for the award of the QTS. Over time, this route will be opened to qualified teachers from every country outside the UK.

“To apply for assessment – only QTS, you do not need a formal teacher training qualification.

“However, you 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.”
