Documents
Details
The data shows the number of:
- overseas teachers applying for QTS
- teachers awarded QTS
- teachers with subject specialisms in the English Baccalaureate
We record and categorise the qualifications that teachers awarded QTS hold to understand what subjects they are best suited to teach. The subject specialisms are only an indication. Teachers may choose to teach different subjects.
The award of QTS does not guarantee a visa or an offer of employment.
Full details on our approach to awarding QTS to overseas teachers are available.
Data quality
We have not yet assessed all applicants who applied between 1 February 2023 and 31 July 2023. The data is subject to changes as we process more applications. The application to award ratio is likely to change.
The published data refers to applicants, not applications. Individual applicants are identified by their email address, which may cause duplicate information.
The published data does not cover the number of applicants or awardees in the English teacher workforce.
