Icesnow: Hi. Great question. The UK has recently introduced a few different routes into teaching. In order to aid my response to your enquiry, could you be nice enough to answer the following: a. do you have any experience and/or certification in teaching? b. are you inside/outside the UK currently? |

dude420:I think the general idea is that many people are not happy/passionate about doing them but stay in them for sponsorship or the "ease" with which they're easy to get. Care jobs for many with the potential to do more careerwise are meant to be survival jobs till they land on their feet but many of them remain stuck and keep doing them without actively pursuing "more." Not to say some don't eventually settle into those jobs and find happiness. To each theirs. 1 Like 1 Share |

bigtt76: You have just hijacked the conversation from the OP. No need to fret though, you won't be needing a lawyer because hijacking isn't yet a crime on Nairaland. I'll try to give a broad response, so that the OP can also benefit. Let's go. This long writeup particularly applies to ENGLAND. To teach in England, a person is required to have a Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or a Qualified Teacher Learning & Skills (QTLS). The QTS is more prestigious/respected than the QTLS (just like BSc is better respected than HND in Naija). So getting the QTS or QTLS is the pathway into teaching. These are the 5 main routes into teaching. 1. PGCE ROUTE (leading to QTS): This route is also known as the Teacher Training route, and is open to applicants with both teaching and non-teaching experience. For applicants residing outside the UK, having a teaching experience is considered important by most teacher training providers. The PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate in Education) is essentially a 9 or 10-month intensive course intended to train applicants into becoming a qualified teacher. Pros: â˘it is a relatively easy route into teaching â˘it is open to applicants inside and outside the UK â˘it allows applicants to easily get sponsored teaching jobs 5 or 6 months into the program. â˘it provides automatic placement opportunities to applicants â˘it provides applicants with the lucrative UK-work experience through placements (teaching practice) â˘it makes it very possible to get sponsored jobs at places of placement. â˘it also leaves some margin for errors/mistakes for relatively inexperienced teachers in their development Cons: â˘It is relatively expensive, teacher training providers charge from ÂŁ12,000 upwards â˘applicants from outside the UK are usually required to sit for IELTS before being accepted into the program â˘the program can be hectic/draining and may not allow enough time for applicants who want to work alongside studies. 2. PGDE ROUTE (leading to QTLS): The Post Graduate Diploma in Education is another route into teaching and is very similar to the PGCE route already described above. 3. ASSESSMENT ONLY QTS ROUTE: This is a very brilliant route into teaching. It is open to persons who have at least 2years' teaching experience AND is currently working as a teacher either inside or outside the UK (yes, including Nigeria). The beauty about this route is that NO training is needed (unlike the PGCE & PGDE routes previously described). All that is required is for the person to be assessed by a representative of a teacher training provider to measure their skills, by observing them teaching at their place of work. If the representative is satisfied, then, voila, the QTS is immediately awarded. Pros: â˘applicants don't need to be in the UK to benefit from this route, because it is open to people living inside and outside the UK â˘the representative will be the one to visit the applicant in order to assess them and not the other way around (even if the applicant is living outside the UK) e.g an applicant working in Lagos will be visited at their place of work, by the representative to assess their teaching skills in the classroom â˘it's a very fast/short route to getting the QTS and a quick pathway into teaching in England Cons: â˘only persons currently working as a teacher and with at least 2years' teaching experience is eligible for this route â˘persons eligible must have a BSc and O'level credits in English and Math â˘it can cost between ÂŁ1,500 and ÂŁ4,000 for applicants presumably to cover the representative's travel costs amongst other things â˘it is a riskier route (compared to the PGCE/PGDE routes), as there is little room for error during the assessment. If the representative isn't satisfied with the applicant's teaching methods, then the applicant will not be awarded the QTS. â˘applicants will have to inform/carry along the school where they teach (i.e place of work), because that is where the assessment will take place â˘getting a sponsored job may not be very easy for successful applicants living outside the UK as most recruiting UK/English schools prefer to interview teachers in-person before offering them a sponsored job. 4. INTERNATIONAL QUALIFIED TEACHER STATUS ROUTE (leading to iQTS): This is like the online version of the PGCE/PGDE routes into teaching. It is a new route into teaching in the UK. Pros: â˘it is open to all applicants living inside or outside the UK â˘trainings only take place online, therefore leaving room for students to study remotely while still doing other work. â˘it allows a more flexible schedule compared to the other training routes â˘applicants can enjoy access to the training even if they are living outside the UK Cons: â˘it isn't free, so it comes at a fee â˘getting a sponsored job may not be very easy for successful applicants living outside the UK as most recruiting UK/English schools prefer to interview teachers in-person before offering them a sponsored job. â˘only 6 teacher training providers offer this service in the whole of England, which may not be a very good thing at the moment â˘may contain lots of uncertainty because it is a new scheme 5.QTS EXEMPTION FOR QUALIFIED TEACHERS OUTSIDE THE UK: This route is only open to qualified/certified teachers working outside the UK. Pros: â˘eligible persons are allowed to work as teachers in England for up to 4years without a QTS. â˘it is open to qualified teachers working outside the UK Cons: â˘only persons who have successfully completed a course of teacher training recognised by the organisation that regulates teachers in the country where they are qualified are eligible â˘getting a sponsored job may not be very easy for successful applicants because most recruiting English schools prefer to interview teachers in-person AND also prefer teachers already holding a QTS Sorry, my ink don finish. 23 Likes 9 Shares |

An appeal court in London, the United Kingdom, has sentenced a Nigerian man to three years in jail for physically abusing(beating with cane) his nine-year-old son. The offender, 66, initially got away with 22 months imprisonment at the end of his trial at the Crown Court in Woolwich, South-east London, which the government disagreed with. Following the governmentâs appeal against the trial courtâs sentence, the Criminal Division of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales in London raised the punishment to three years jail term. âThe sentence of 22 months imprisonment will be quashed and replaced by a sentence of three years imprisonment,â the Court of Appeal ordered in its judgement delivered on 22 December 2022.

SPDAZZY:I am not a professional resume writer and currently can't take on more. US tech sis and bro have been talking about using ChatGPT for their resume. I tried it last weekend and it looked better than mine e.g, it changed the passive verbs. Ask it to re-write your current cv using keywords from the job role or industry. You can also ask it to rate you current resume by feeding it the job description for the job you are applying. General rules - same fon't, font size(11) (you can make it accessible), keep it tidy with lot of white spaces I.e, the sentences are not too long). 8 Likes 3 Shares |
