Teacher training qualifications to be free for the next two academic years to upskill teachers across the country
Every teacher in the country will have access to free, high-quality, ongoing training as part of the Government’s continued drive to ensure every pupil in England is taught by an excellent teacher, levelling up education across the country.
High-quality, Government-accredited training programmes - National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) - will continue to be free for teachers to take for the next two academic years (22/23 and 23/24), following Government investment of £184 million.
Today’s announcements form part of the government’s commitment to provide 500,000 teacher training opportunities during this Parliament, helping give every single student the opportunity to be taught by dedicated, highly trained teachers, and level up opportunity across the country.
