About TIPD

 

What is TIPD?

'The Teachers' International Professional Development (TIPD) programme provides opportunities for teachers to experience best practice in international education by participating in short-term study visits to other countries. Since the programme was launched in May 2000, thousands of teachers have benefited from the annual £3.5 million in funding, visiting schools in over 80 countries across the world, as far afield as South Africa and Singapore.

Study visit types

The TIPD programme provides 2,580 opportunities each financial year (April – March).  The Study Visit lasts a maximum of 10-days (including travel), depending on the destination.  The opportunities are broken down into three types of study visits.
