Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is required in England and Wales to become, and continue being, a teacher of children in state schools that are under local authority control, and in special education schools. Similar statuses exist in the rest of the United Kingdom (Scotland and Northern Ireland), but under different names.

Famous quotes containing the words qualified, teacher and/or status:
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
