Skills Tests

The Department consulted recently about trainee teachers who fail skills tests and Overseas Trained Teachers (OTTs). Subject to parliamentary approval, the DCSF have decided on the following changes: Existing teachers who have not passed the skills tests will have to do so before 31 August 2008 to remain in teaching; OTTs without QTS cannot teach beyond the four year limit even if they are on an employment-based route into teaching at the time, effective from 1 September 2008; any deadline on unqualified teachers can be extended to take account of absence from work on statutory maternity, adoption, paternity or parental leave or because of pregnancy, effective from 1 September 2007.

The updated guidance is subject to Parliamentary approval of amending regulations.
