The United Kingdom government has listed Nigeria among African countries whose citizens can now apply for qualified teacher status through the Teaching Regulation Agency from February 2023.

Other countries include Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Jamaica, Singapore, South Africa, Ukraine and Zimbabwe.

As a recent update, those who apply for teaching jobs from overseas will require a work visa or other immigration status to allow them to work in the UK. They will also need a skilled worker visa from their employer.

A publication early December on the UK government’s website, by its Department for Education, announced the application for interested non-UK nationals.

According to the report, the applicants do not even necessarily require initial teaching qualifications as the country offers a training programme for the potential migrants.

The notice read, “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.

“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.”

This route I think is firstly for the IGSCE certified teachers.
If you're not experienced in the British curriculum forget it.

But it's no big deal, as it can be gotten easily since it has a short duration.

Go to UK and Canada embassies and see the rate Nigerian youths are trouping out from Naija, where are they getting the money to travel? Start brainstorming on how to get the money legitimately to leave , na better opportunity be this, since our leaders no wan better Naija for us.

those requirements are the equivalent of having a credit in English language, mathematics and a science subject (either of biology, physics or chemistry). The route does not require the applicants to be certified by anybody or even to study education related courses in the University since they would train you. I doubt Nce,Ond and HND holders would be accepted though.

they would likely be sponsored by their employers similar to way nurses going to the UK are been employer sponsored now.

Yes and No

Your low tier private schools are not going for the cream of the crop. I know of a guy who did not graduate and wound up teaching in a private school. It is the high fliers, those already in schools like corona etal who have qualifications and who are exposed. You think people have time to start training in use of electronic whiteboards etal?

Or mental reconditioning ( you no fit beat rude pikin in obodo oyibo. You no fit abuse pikin in obodo oyibo. You no fit call pikin olodo in obodo oyibo.

The 20k,30k and below salary private schools will be fine. They are exploiting the bottom of the barrel no where to go cadre of teachers. It is the top tier schools that will take a hit

Please how can one apply

It may not require certificate but one thing I'm convinced though might be wrong is that the experience in the British curriculum would count as they employ the best brains. Remember the UK is amongst the top rated countries in education and wouldn't want to jeopardize it.

As there are schools in Nigeria running strictly British curriculum (Cambridge) just as there are those of American, Australian, Canadian etc curriculum.

So in this case, I believe that's were the experience comes into play since most organisations are cutting down cost of retraining staff.

They are not satisfied with the brain drain committed on our doctors,now it's the turn of the teachers.
It's not their fault,na the idiots in the country's leadership cause am.
