EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations remove the medical requirements relating to admission to teacher training and for recommendation/entitlement to be registered by the General Teaching Council for Scotland ("the Council"). Regulation 2 removes regulation 2(d) of the Teachers (Entitlement to Registration) (Scotland) Regulations 1991 which requires persons to provide evidence that they are medically fit to teach, in addition to satisfying the requirements for recognition set out in the European Communities (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/824) before being entitled to be registered in the register of teachers maintained by the Council. Regulation 3 removes regulations 3(1)(c) and 6(b)(ii) of the Teachers (Education, Training and Recommendation for Registration) (Scotland) Regulations 1993 which set as one of the conditions for admission to teacher training and for recommendation for registration by the Council that the person seeking admission or registration satisfy the medical officer of the Teacher Training Institution that they are medically fit to teach.
