This isn't right. You get QTS upon completing your PGCE (or other teaching qualification). You are just classed as an NQT (newly qualified teacher) until you have completed a years induction.

Not requiring QTS is literally not requiring 'teachers' to have any training whatsoever. Any random person off the street whether they have any qualifications or not can become a teacher at a free school.

I mean, I don't want to pull a 'my dad is bigger than your dad' but both my wife ano I are teachers. Neither of us have either QTS or QTLS and I am looking at my framed PGCE ceradicate at this very moment. I have also taught on teacher training courses for 3 years. Your QTS is an active choice you make - it's part, usually, of your NQT year, but it's not essential anymore. It's the teaching equivalent of your training year in Law, if your PGCE is your LPC.

That's strange, as I am a primary school teacher and QTS was awarded to me given the completion of my PGCE course. In fact, the course was clearly split separately, with the post-grad certificate being awarded as a result of the academic assignments completed on the course, and QTS given as a result of successful completion of the three in-school placements.

I remember it quite clearly because there was a cock-up in my case and the University did not award me QTS properly, which meant that the county council that employed me refused to put me on the payroll as a teacher until it was all sorted out. I literally could not be paid the main scale of a qualified teacher until the system had my qualification. (By which I mean QTS, not the PGCE. The latter is purely academic.)

Lots of providers do offer QTS in addition to the PGCE as standard, given that the things you need to do to obtain QTS tie in nicely with your PGCE year but it's not automatically granted - might be different for primary of course.

Sixth Forms don't require you to have QTS to teach in them, nor FE colleges.

i am an advocate for having qualified statuses, even tho it's completely different careers, i am a qualified registered nurse, and currently to practice as a nurse you have to complete a degree and be registered with the nursing midwifery council, however they government are starting to introduce associate nurses, who will take over many tasks that i currently do, like dispense medications, do assessments and other procedures, without being registered or having a qualified status, whilst this sounds nice in theory, having extra manpower etc, its actually going to be an utter nightmare as they have no real accountability, with a qualified nurse being accountable for their actions

what i am trying to say is that im sure there is no real difference when it comes to the teaching, however i know that i would feel better that my children were being taught by a registered qualified professional, rather than someone who's just done the training, much like id be more comfortable being treated by a registered qualified nurse, than someone who hasn't had that extra training and accountability

William Hague did a pretty sympathetic article on him back during the last leadership election debunking some Labour MPs who were claiming Corbyn never spoke at parliament or something (while still saying he wasn't a good choice for leader) saying that Corbyn's big thing was a nuclear free Middle East and he'd always talk about it with Hague when he was foreign secretary.

Anti-Corbyn MPs planning split 'will sue Labour so they can use its name'

quote:

A group of rebel Labour MPs are planning to split off into a new group and sue the remainder of their old party so they can use its name, it has been reported.

The Daily Telegraph newspaper says “embryonic” plans are being hatched for a “semi-split” in the event Jeremy Corbyn wins this summer’s leadership election again.

The approach would see a legal challenge launched for Labour assets, branding and property.

MPs would also elect an alternative leader to Mr Corbyn from amongst their own number, and appeal to the Speaker to recognise them as the official opposition if they had enough support.

If fully successful that approach would effectively see the rebels take party control of the party through the courts having just lost the leadership election.

“We can be liberated from the drag anchor and the poison that is Jeremy and his team and would be able to take the fight to the Tories,” one MP told the newspaper.

A second is reported to have said: “The notion that we’ll all go back to happy families is nonsense.”

Here we loving go…

The spiky one.
Yeah it's been their endgame for a while. Someone said the courts hate getting involved in democratic issues though so they don't have much hope, plus if successful it would open them up to responsibility and lawsuits from current donors who support corbyn, like the unions and the hundreds of thousands of members who signed up for him. They think they have nothing to lose at this point due to mandatory reselection with boundary changes.

I'm no lawyer so I'm open to being proven wrong on this, but how on earth are they going to have a legal leg to stand on? When you object to a decision made by an organisation that was made using the organisation's own rules and decide to gently caress off what could possibly entitle you to any part of that organisation? Does ownership of the name of Labour legally fall to whoever is most blessed by the ghost of Keir Hardie and they have to drag his skeleton into the courtroom as a witness or what

This reads like she spent months working on a policy for SEN kids, then saw one tweet by John McDonnell that vaguely had something to do with autism and threw up her hands screaming 'I've been totally undermined'. All of which is probably true, apart from the the whole spending months working on a policy bit.

Come now, if you've some specific evidence to show that she did nothing during her employment as shadow minister then pony up, otherwise surely this is just a slur against someone who's reached a decision you don't like?

Yeah, I've definitely read this before somewhere. The thing is, I don't think they'd be successful. A court has effectively just confirmed the constitutional correctness of Jeremy's inclusion in the leadership contest (which is actually quite helpful for him, with hindsight). If his election as leader is in accordance with the Labour party rules, you can't just split from an organisation and then get a court to steal assets for you.

They probably won't be allowed to use that money, too. The winner of the case would have the right to control those funds AFAICT, either them or the NEC and the NEC is unlikely to vote to finance people calling them illegitimate.

I mean to be honest this sounds like the kind of thing that happens in every organisation I've ever been in.

Although actually, having re-read it, I'm not really entirely clear what the grievance is here. She'd been working on a policy about SEN and then John McDonnell independently announced an Autism Manifesto? Which need not be strictly concerned with SEN as such in any case.

Perhaps I'm missing something but I don't really see how that constitutes undermining. Lack of communication clearly an issue but it seems like she's blowing an incident out of proportion for political ends here.
