The answer

Answered by Peter Peacock on 1 Oct 2004 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

Teachers in education authority schools are required to hold either a Teaching Qualification (Secondary Education) or a Teaching Qualification (Primary Education). Where education authorities arrange for organisations to provide statutory educational services outwith education authority schools, it is for authorities to be satisfied that teaching staff are suitably qualified.
