What is the latest information about the government initiative, Troops to Teachers?
The Schools White Paper 2010 (The Importance of Teaching) shows that the Coalition Government recognises the skills and attributes that members of the Armed Forces have that would transfer to a career in teaching, particularly with young people from challenging backgrounds. tda.gov.uk/Home/about/latest-announcements/troops-to-teachers.aspx: The Government is looking into the possibility of a bespoke undergraduate route into teaching that could help Armed Service Leavers who have the relevant experience and skills but who may lack the required degree level entry qualification. We have no specific information as present but if you are interested in a career in teaching when you leave the Armed Forces, please provide us with your contact details and we will be in touch as we get to hear more about this new initiative.
