# The Education (Teachers' Qualifications and Health Standards) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2002, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These regulations amend the Education (Teachers' Qualifications and Health Standards) (England) Regulations (S.I. 1999/2166).
A new Part IV is inserted into Schedule 2 to provide for the establishment of an employment-based teacher training scheme for unqualified teacher trainees. Such teacher trainees were formerly referred to as graduate and registered teachers. The Teacher Training Agency will carry out the function of administering this scheme subject to such guidance as may be given by the Secretary of State.
Schedule 3 of the principal Regulations is amended to enable persons who successfully complete the period of teacher training under Part IV of Schedule 2 to be awarded qualified teacher status. Such persons must meet the standards required of persons who seek to become qualified teachers and they must be recommended to the Secretary of State by, or on behalf of, the Teacher Training Agency.
The provisions of Parts II and III of Schedule 2 and paragraph 7 of Schedule 3 are now applicable only to persons who have been granted authorisations prior to the commencement of these Regulations.
