The Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) is an executive agency of the Department for Education responsible for regulation of the teaching profession in England.[2]
Background
[edit | edit source]Between 2000 and 2012, the teaching profession in England was regulated by a professional body known as the General Teaching Council for England (GTCE).[3] The GTCE was abolished in 2012 with some of its functions being assumed by the Department of Education.[4] In 2013, a National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) was established which was replaced by the present Teaching Regulation Agency in 2018.[5]
Responsibilities
[edit | edit source]The Teaching Regulation Agency is responsible for:[6]
- Regulating the teaching profession in England
- Conducting teacher misconduct hearings
- Maintaining a record of teachers, trainee teachers and those who hold qualified teacher status.
