(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Teachers' Qualifications and Health Standards) (Wales) Regulations 1999 so as to enable the General Teaching Council for Wales to determine whether certain categories of persons are qualified teachers. These include a person who has completed a course of initial training for teachers in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland; a person who has been recognised as a teacher in Northern Ireland; a person who is registered with the General Teaching Council for Scotland; a school teacher from the European Economic Area; and a person who has been recommended for qualified teacher status by the States of Guernsey Education Council.
These Regulations also make a consequential amendment to the definition of “qualified teacher” in the Teacher Training Incentive (Wales) Regulations 2000.
