Help and Support for Ukrainian teachers and trainees coming to the UK

Teaching education dept slogan - "every lesson shapes a life"

Overseas teachers enrich the lives of students and add value to schools and the wider community. The Department for Education (DfE) wants to help Ukrainian refugees in any way they can, and they support and encourage schools and training providers to recruit Ukrainian teachers and teacher trainees.

The DfE can help if you’re interested in teaching children aged 5 to 18. If you’d like to teach other age groups, try teaching in a university

Support is extensive due to a growing need for teachers in the UK. Here are some examples of support that may be relevant to you:
