amanze54: I hope my comment meets it need. As a teacher here, my advice to you is to focus on your presentation and interview. Those are the determinants to your getting the training not your accent. I have Naija accent and students have learnt to get used to it. Depending on what part of the England you are , your accent will pass if you speak clearly and steadily, demonstrate your skills and make use of gestures. Prepare as though it’s a job interview cos you will be asked questions like you are. You could PM me if you need any tips. Best of luck!! 2 Likes |

hustla: I am on a skilled worker visa as a teacher. Didn’t get in as a teacher directly from 9ja. Came in on a student visa for PGCE, then switched to tier 2. This would be the most possible pathway. Although I have been reading about some pilot pathways, yet to confirm. 6 Likes |

Does the 20 hour term time and no max hour out of term time applicable to a teacher on teir 2 please. Just wondering, as teachers only get paid for the 9-months of work spread over 12 months and it's more like I will record no working hours during the holiday. Someone is ready to make some extras...... |

kode12: On the contrary it is a common problem. I have experienced it before with correct details and have just recently used the same details but it worked. The same has happened to a few people that I know. Let your employer know what's happened. You are going to give your brp as part of your documentations anyway, they could have a way to figure out your right to work. |

donald197: Stoke is a small and typically quiet city. Not much activities, about 40mins drive to Manchester. Cost of living depends on what you want. If single with no baggages, ST1 Hanley/Shelton is quite cheap. ST2,Trentham most expensive guess due to it nearness to tourist locations ST3, deprived area ST4, closest to the hospital ST6, I don't like that area, mostly deprived white working class area. Since last year that I left, cost of accommodation has risen, like everywhere else in the UK. There are 2 African shops in the city centre; Emma chuks Nigerian Mokola Ghanaian. both close to eachother. Primary schools are quite good but Sec schools are kinda tricky, lots of behaviou issues. It's q deprived city as I have said. Very little to no activity (I was there mostly during covid). If you are a social rat, not a place to live. 4 Likes |

babajeje123: She could register with agencies to be a substitute teacher. This is not an easy job as she would go into any school to fill in for an absent teacher. She will cover class for different subjects and year groups. On the other hand, she could train to teach. There are several training institutes the offer this. Check teachfirst or go on UCAS for a detailed list and register. Training will help acheive knowledge of how the school system works, learn the teaching standards and class control(this is the most important bit). Better still, check UCAS for SCITT for school direct training. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

LagosismyHome: I believe having an employer cover you IHS/VISA cost is a plus, It is not their responsibility. Since OP didn't inquire before been issued the CoS, it's noone's blame. I will advise that you accept the option given as it takes away the pressure of having to cough out the fee wholesome. |

Yampotatocarrot:Congratulations on the first step. The Uni should let you know the interview format , but it is usually in two phases. 1. Prior to the interview: Some administer a test or ask for a subject knowledge audit to know confident you are on topics in the subject area. 2. For the interview: You may be given a topic, and asked to talk them through how you would teach it (lesson presentation) You would be asked questions like you are interviewing to be a teacher; the whys, whats and how. Safeguarding question always come up as well, including dicussion on an educational and Professional Issues. You could PM me for more support. |

I am still not been understood. Do you know how when we were young, for those of us that attended public schools in Naija, that we leave school and attend extra lessons or have lesson teachers? Because we want to cover syllabus and pass WAEC? That's exactly what I am talking about. Even in good areas, students will be students. Very different amongst their peers. Some better some not. Different things happen in the classroom. We shouldn't just count on what is taught to be enough for our kids to pass their exams. 5 Likes |

Lilipo: To be clear, We immigrants get carried away by the FREE EDUCATION AND ENVIRONMENT and believe it's better than what we had back home which isn't always the case especially for those of us who are in a way bouyant or thoughtful enough to migrate. Some attend better schools back home than where they are at, OUTSTANDING / GOOD When I mean public schools, it's in a layman's language for better understanding. I am not disputing that there are good schools here I compared these schools with Naija public schools and rightly so. It's a free school providing education for ALL. In as much as teachers want to help students succeed, there isn't much they can achieve judging by the workload, content to cover, students' behaviour, attitude to learning and lots more which I believe is similar to public schools in Naija. OFSTED doesn't rate a school on academics alone. So expect that an OUTSTANDING school may have equal academic output as a school rated GOOD. Perhaps the later may lack in areas of administration, behaviour and likes. In this case, I am concerned about academics. I have seen top classes in a RI school outperform that in an OUTSTANDING school. I still maintain my opinion and do not argue as this may not be a general to all cases but majority. Parents need to be more involved in the education of their wards. If your children attend free school, you have to go the extra mile to support them. What is being learnt in school alone won't cut it and that's a fact. We have to work extra for a desired result for those who care. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

So many topics to discuss on this thread but please can we discuss the PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. Most Naija parents feel they get quality education cheaply here which mostly is not the case. I am a secondary school maths teacher and I weep for these children. Lack of motivation, apathy, to mention a few. Asides creating a safe and enabling environment for students to learn, PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN UK AREN'T ANY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE IN NIGERIA. Parents need to be more involved in their children's education. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

tosine25: What works for one person may not work for the other. Some women like are always say are super women, I don't know how they keep it together. I work as a full time teacher with 2 kids under 8 as well, but I must confess, it is hard and not cheap. My 2 kids have to attend breakfast and after school club. They both don't eat Oyinbo food so I have to make hot meals everyday. Schools will call to collect kids when something happens. If any of them have to stay at home, I automatically have tot stay home as well. Childcare is a full time job on its own.It really is a draconian task to get through everyday. I have sent SOS message to hubby. I don't know what may happen if I continue like this. 9 Likes |

@Yemsot Congratulations on this breakthrough. I salute your courage, not some many can keep it together like you've done and I pray you get a good job soon. I never fail to tell people how PGCE could be emotionally and psychologically challenging. I almost swore for your subject and professional mentor at placement 2. They obviously didn't support you enough, considering the cultural and environmental differences being an international student. 2 Likes |
