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
