At a cost of £300,000 it is considered a snip and a neat way of avoiding having to improve pay and conditions for UK teachers in order to recruit more of them. After all, successive governments have held a policy of demoralising, undermining and undervaluing teachers to the point where there is now a major shortfall of them.
"We're having to do it now," a spokesman for the Department for Education said, "because we certainly won't be able to do it after Brexit and immigration controls stop us."
He added hurriedly, "Though we all support Brexit, which is a brilliant idea and the PM never managed to do anything about immigration as Home Secretary, so there's probably no need to worry about it now."
Any teachers coming in under this new initiative will have to show a suitable level of teacher training.
"They will definitely have had to go to school at some time in their lives," the DfE confirmed.
