Qualified and eligible teachers in Nigeria can apply to work in schools in the United Kingdom (UK) courtesy of a programme by the department of education.

Applicants will be required to have qualified teacher status (QTS) — a qualification awarded by the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA).

Qualified teacher status (QTS) is a legal requirement to teach in many English schools and is considered desirable for teachers in the majority of schools in England.

Teachers with qualifications from nine countries including Nigeria will be able to apply to TRA for QTS. They are as follows:
1. Ghana
2. Hong Kong
3. India
4. Jamaica
5. Nigeria
6. Singapore
7. South Africa
8. Ukraine
9. Zimbabwe

According to the UK: “Teachers from these countries were considered because they are believed to have a substantial presence in the UK as valued members of the teaching workforce there is an established interest in teaching in England in these countries we have strong educational ties with the country in question

“This change is part of the launch of a new service to apply for QTS in England,” the notice reads.
“From 1 February 2023, teachers from all eligible countries will have to show they meet a consistent set of criteria for the award of QTS. Over time, this route will be opened to qualified teachers from every country outside the UK.

“This will ensure all non-UK teachers awarded QTS meet the same high standards, while also increasing opportunities for highly qualified teachers wherever they trained.”

Here are the requirements:
1. To apply for assessment, you do not need a formal teacher training qualification.

2. You must have: a minimum of 2 years’ teaching experience; a first (bachelor’s) degree from a UK or non-UK university an English language qualification which is the same standard as a grade 4 GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education).

3. Maths qualification, which is the same standard as a grade 4 GCSE to teach children aged 3 to 11 in primary school and a physics, chemistry or biology (science) qualification which is the same standard as a grade 4 GCSE.

4. You must also meet a certain standard of English language proficiency. This means you must be able to show one of the following. You have:
A. Been born in, hold citizenship of, or have studied at undergraduate level (or higher) in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales or in one of the exempt nationalities been taught in English at undergraduate level (or higher) – you will need to provide evidence that English has been the medium of instruction (MOI) of your degree sat a CEFR B2 level English language test at a secure English language test (SELT) provider and met a CEFR B2 level of English proficiency.

Group Of Top Male Footballers ‘Planning To Come Out As Gay Next Month

A group of top male footballers ‘are planning to come out as gay on May 17.

German outlet Preussische Allgemeine Zeitung claims a group of professionals across the country will declare publicly their sexual orientation.

The date in question is of particular reference as it is the International Day Against Homophobia.

It is believed that all of the clubs the reported players are aware of the planned proposals.

However, Preussische Allgemeine Zeitung adds that some players still have reservations about revealing their homosexuality and could still make a U-turn in doing so.

Marcus Urban is a former footballer in Germany who came out as gay in 2007, 16 years after quitting the sport. Urban, now 52, is the co-founder of Diversero, a global community for diversity, and hopes next month’s plans do come to fruition.

‘I think they are respected and celebrated for that. Not by everyone, that’s clear. But hate speech cannot be a criterion for a life,

‘May 17 is an offer,’ he told the Editorial Network Germany (RND). ‘A date that you could use as a guide and get together as a group.

‘There is controversy there. Do I still want to wait until the world of football becomes the way I want it to be? Why should I wait? An interesting dynamic has come into play, you can see that people’s minds are starting to move and are thinking about whether it really makes sense to continue to hide and deny themselves.

Urban went on to reveal that there are gay couples playing in the Bundesliga too – declaring it would be ‘liberating’ if they came out.

‘There are also gay Bundesliga couples who are in hiding,’ he continued.

‘That would be so liberating. What’s wrong with it.’

Nigerian Muslims have gone on X to express outrage after it was announced that Saudi Arabia has opened its first alcohol store in Riyadh.

Alcohol consumption is against the teachings of Islam and Saudi Arabia, a Muslim country, has always obeyed to this law by forbidding the operation of alcohol stores in the country.

However, for the first time, the country opened its first alcohol store in the diplomatic quarter of its capital Riyadh.

After it was announced on X, Nigerian Muslims took to the platform to express their displeasure.

“Disgraceful,” one Nigerian Muslim wrote on X. “They’re slowly turning Saudi Arabia into Las Vegas and it’s making me mad. At the rate they’re going , very soon they’ll legalize prostitution and same sex marriage in our most sacred city.”

Nigerian Muslims read the riot act after Saudi Arabia opened its first alcohol store.

Another said: “It’s baffling and disgusting to see that Saudi Arabia has opened the first alcohol store in Riyadh.

“I wonder why the current crown prince is going against the teachings of the holy prophet by accommodating western cultures in a country like Saudi Arabia where the two most holy mosque are situated.

“This is an insult to the religion of peace and the entire Muslim ummah. It’s disgraceful.”
