Teaching Council Criteria Shortfall Funding Scheme
15 applicants
Action 2.A.3
4 8 approved
Overview:
Some teachers have credits in a target language but cannot register for that target language with the
Teaching Council because there is a shortfall in the criteria needed for registration. The Teaching Council
Criteria Shortfall Funding Scheme aims to address this shortfall.
Main Aims:
•
To bring teachers who are close to being able to register to teach a language with the Teaching Council to
a point where they fulfill the registration criteria
•
Increase the number of qualified language teachers available
Activity:
PPLI provides funding for courses to enable teachers to gain up to 15 credits to make up a shortfall and
register as a teacher of the language with the Teaching Council. The funding is in the form of reimbursement
once the teacher has achieved Teaching Council registration for the target language. The scheme is open to
applications on an on-going basis. PPLI advises and supports eligible teachers to help them identify and
choose courses.
Impact:
•
Two teachers have achieved registration since the scheme opened in 2021. This increases teacher
availability and capacity in the system as teachers get registered
•
Feedback from teachers has been positive, especially teachers noting they have gained confidence
Next Steps:
Continue to operate the scheme in 2023
