What changed
The UK Department for Education has published guidance outlining the specific criteria that organisations must satisfy to offer International Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS). This framework is designed for applicants undertaking their teacher training outside of the United Kingdom, indicating a formalisation of international pathways to UK teacher qualification.
Why it matters
This guidance establishes a formal mechanism for internationally trained individuals to attain a UK-recognized teaching qualification. It potentially expands the pool of qualified educators globally and standardises the quality assurance process for international teacher training providers.
What to watch
The UK Department for Education has issued new guidance documents.
