Training Pathway:

The Falkland Islands Government (FIG) ensures that the level of teacher certification meet UK professional standards but adapted to the local context. Candidates will have at least a degree in education and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), or UK recognized teaching qualification. Candidates should have also completed their Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) induction year as a requirement.

Certification Requirements:

Teachers are expected to demonstrate competence in delivering the English National Curriculum. In addition to teaching ability, teachers are expected to adhere to FIG’s professional standard, which include lesson planning, differentiation to meet individual needs, assessment of learning, monitoring and tracking of progress, and pastoral responsibility to ensure student safety and welfare.

Continuing Professional Development:

Continued professional development is supported with training and reflection both within Stanley-based schools and Camp Education programs. For educators in rural communities, additional resources are available to help ensure equity and quality of instruction.
