(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the General Teaching Council for Wales (Additional Functions) Order 2000 ("the 2000 Order"), as a consequence of the Education Act 2011 ("the 2011 Act") which provides for the abolition of the General Teaching Council for England ("the GTCE") and makes provision in relation to the prohibition of persons from carrying out teaching work.
Article 2(2) amends Part II of the Schedule to the 2000 Order by adding a new paragraph 22B which provides that the General Teaching Council for Wales ("the Council") will include in its records the terms of any prohibition order made by the Secretary of State under section 141B of the Education Act 2002 ("the 2002 Act") prohibiting a person from carrying out teaching work. Section 141B is inserted into the 2002 Act by the 2011 Act.
Article 2(2) also amends paragraphs 23A and 23B of Part II of the Schedule to remove references to the GTCE.
1998 c. 30. The relevant provisions apply in relation to the General Teaching Council for Wales by virtue of sections 8 and 9 of the Act and the General Teaching Council for Wales Order 1998 (S.I. 1998/2911).
The Secretary of State's functions were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by virtue of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672) and then to the Welsh Ministers by virtue of paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
