This pilot scheme for refugee teachers aims to improve the employability of refugee teachers into British schools by developing their knowledge of the education system in England and Wales through practical classroom experience and therory-led taught sessions. It is aimed at teachers with qualifications comparable to UK standards but no experience of teaching in the UK. The scheme will run full time from October to mid July 2005 where it is hoped that upon completion trainees will have gained enough experience and confidence to apply for teaching posts. The course will comprise of work placements in the classroom together with English language support and taught theory sessions with an education consultant. The programme will be demanding, structured to assist the career progression of only determined and talented secondary school teachers with a strong desire to return to teaching.
