Simplified process for applying to become a teacher
The application process to get into teaching has become simplified following the launch of a brand-new service.
Designed to better meet the needs of potential trainees applying for teacher training, it will ensure universities and schools can make the best decisions on matching applicants with teacher training courses.
The South-West will be first to benefit from the pilot, before it is rolled out across England to fully replace the existing UCAS service from October 2021. Universities providing teacher training will also be able to join the pilot from October 2020.
School Standards Minister Nick Gibb said: "There’s never been a better time to become a teacher – this year we have announced a 2.75% pay rise for teachers, alongside outlining plans for starting salaries to rise to £30,000 by 2022-23.
"We are removing the barriers that can deter some people who could be excellent teachers from applying and that includes making the application process simpler, more straightforward and intuitive. This new service does just that."
The service will be easier to use for both candidates and training providers and is fully integrated with Find Postgraduate Teacher Training.
