(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends Schedule 1 to the Teaching Council (Scotland) Act 1965 (which provides for the appointment of members to the General Teaching Council for Scotland) to take account of the transfer of colleges of further education from the control of local authorities to being run by boards of management under the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 1992.

The Order does this by reducing from four to three the number of persons appointed to the Council by the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities and by giving the boards of management of colleges of further education power to appoint one person to the Council.
