<p>Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England
only.</p><p>Ukrainians can teach without Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) for an unlimited
period in an academy or a free school, or for up to four years in a maintained school.
They can then consider gaining QTS through the Assessment Only route whilst working
in this way.</p><p>Ukrainians are also able to apply for Initial Teacher Training
in England. If they have been granted leave under the Ukraine Family Scheme visa,
the Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme, or the Ukraine Extension Scheme, and have been a resident
in the UK, they will be treated the same as a UK resident for higher education funding,
including for Initial Teacher Training. More guidance for Ukrainian nationals on becoming
a teacher in England is available on the Get into Teaching website, which can be found
here: <a href="https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/non-uk-teachers/ukraine.%20"

early 2023 the Department will open a new route for teachers who trained in a broader
range of countries, including Ukraine, to apply to the Teaching Regulation Agency
for QTS in England, providing they meet certain criteria. This will provide Ukrainians
who meet the relevant criteria to gain QTS by recognition of their existing teaching
qualification, making it more straightforward to teach in all types of school in England.
