CATEGORY OF THEMES:
Education and training for employability
WHY?
Teaching is one of the regulated professions in the UK and those who
intend to become a teacher should get qualified teacher status and
satisfy the conditions of the regulating bodies. This poses a major
challenge for refugees who were teachers in their countries of origin as
their qualifications are not recognised in the UK and they need to
requalify to teach in schools in the UK.
A regional partnership of specialist agencies, training providers and
employers has been set up to support refugee teachers into training,
placement and work funded by the Department for Children, Schools and
Families. London Metropolitan University is the main agency in charge of
providing advice, guidance and training for refugee teachers and has
considerable experience in this field.
WHAT?
Participants will learn about: how migrant and refugee teachers are
retrained and prepared for employment using innovative courses and
training methods; curriculum which includes education system, language
skills, work placement in schools, employability and awareness raising
about cross cultural issues in society and schools; supporting roles in
schools for migrants and refugees where their skills can be utilised;
recognition of overseas qualifications and how barriers are tackled.
HOW?
Participants will: meet lecturers and guidance workers; visit partner
organisations including funders; visit schools and refugee community
organisations to see good practice; visit some recent refugee graduates
working in schools.
WHOM?
* Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres
or providers,
* directors of guidance centres,
* directors of validation or accreditation centres,
* head teachers, teacher trainers,
* heads of departments,
* pedagogical or guidance advisers,
* representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance
