What can teachers teach guidance (FE to Secondary)

It is a requirement by law to employ only GTC Scotland registered teachers as teachers in Scottish schools and further, that employment should be in accordance with the teacher's GTC Scotland registration category. The integrity of the Register and the application of it in this way is fundamental to assuring the public and users of the education system that only those with the requisite qualifications are allowed to teach.

Registration in FE means the individual is registered to teach in Colleges/Further Education and within the senior phase of the secondary education curriculum as part of agreed school and college partnership arrangements.

Once an employer has confirmed that a teacher’s registration category aligns to a role, it is for the employer to decide if the teacher has the appropriate professional skills and knowledge to undertake the teaching duties allocated to that role
