It sounds like your permissions are being restricted by either Azure AD or Teams policies. Even with an Education A3 license, you may not have permission to create teams from scratch or templates.

You should also confirm you're assigned the correct roles in Microsoft 365, as only users marked as "Teacher" or "Faculty" can create class teams. Finally, some templates may be limited based on your institution's Education settings, so ensure those are properly configured.
