The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what specific teaching qualifications are expected to be held by teaching staff in organisations providing educational services to children being “looked after” by local authorities.
The answer
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 educational services outwith education authority schools, it is for authorities to be satisfied that teaching staff are suitably qualified.
