Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Education (School Teachers’ Prescribed Qualifications, etc) Order 2003.

The 2003 Order prescribes persons who are school teachers for the purposes of section 122 of the Education Act 2002, which gives the Secretary of State a power to determine the remuneration and other conditions of employment of school teachers. Article 5 of the 2003 Order prescribes as school teachers instructors with special qualifications or experience, subject to certain specified restrictions. This Order removes the restriction that instructors are prescribed only if no suitable qualified teacher or a teacher on an employment-based scheme is available.
