Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

The amendment scheme in the Schedule to this approval Order amends the Teaching Council (Scotland) Election Scheme 1989 to enable the General Teaching Council for Scotland and not an appointed arbiter to deal with an appeal under paragraph 10 of the scheme against a certificate given by the returning officer that the election was conducted substantially in accordance with the provisions of the scheme.

The amendment scheme also modifies the 1989 scheme to reflect the changes made by the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 1992 (c. 37) to the Teaching Council (Scotland) Act 1965. The 1992 Act substituted for the expressions “colleges of education” and “colleges” in Schedule 1 to the 1965 Act the expressions “relevant institutions” and “institutions” respectively and inserted a definition of “relevant institution” in section 17 of the 1965 Act.
