All awarding organisations must comply with Ofqual’s General Conditions of Recognition, which include rules related to the provision of effective guidance to schools and colleges (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-to-the-general-conditions-of-recognition" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-to-the-general-conditions-of-recognition</a>).</p><p> </p><p>Ofqual’s information campaign on the changes to GCSEs and the new grading scale has included speaking events, regular newsletters as well as blogs, postcards, webinars and advertising on social media and catch up television. Additionally, in July 2016 and March this year all schools and colleges were sent a joint DfE/Ofqual slide pack which provides teachers with a single source of information about the changes to GCSEs, and also to AS and A levels.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2017 answer text <p>To teach in a state maintained secondary, primary, or state or non-state maintained special school you must have qualified teacher status (QTS). Routes that lead to the award of QTS, including those which assess previous teaching experience, are outlined on the Get Into Teaching website:</p><p><a href="https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/explore-my-options/teacher-training-routes" target="_blank">https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/explore-my-options/teacher-training-routes</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Teachers who trained outside England may be able to have their teaching qualification recognised as equivalent to QTS. To do so, such teachers must apply to the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) to be awarded QTS before they can take up a teaching post in a maintained school or non-maintained special school in England. Individuals who hold qualified teacher learning and skills (QTLS) status are also eligible to work as a qualified teacher in schools in England.</p><p>Further information on eligibility and equivalencies is available on GOV.UK: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/qualified-teacher-status-qts" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/qualified-teacher-status-qts</a>.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 28/02/2017 16:38:24 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
