Contradiction

Please contact the Landesinstitut für Schulqualität und Lehrerbildung Sachsen-Anhalt (LISA), Landesprüfungsamt für Lehrämter.

You submit an application for recognition of your foreign teaching qualification to the competent authority. This office will check whether your foreign qualification corresponds to the German qualification for a teaching profession established in the state of Saxony-Anhalt.

This check is based on defined formal criteria, such as the content and duration of the training. Your relevant professional experience and other relevant qualifications will also be taken into account.

After the examination, the responsible body will inform you whether

  • recognition will be granted,
  • there are deficits in the qualification and compensatory measures are therefore necessary before recognition, or
  • recognition cannot be granted.
