Teaching Council Bill 2000
Public bill · Government · Presented
The proposal would establish the Teaching Council to regulate teachers, maintain a public register, set standards for teacher education and professional conduct, and promote ongoing training and professional development. Registration would generally be required for teachers paid from public funds, while complaints about fitness to teach could lead to conditions, suspension or removal from the register, with legal safeguards and appeals. It would also replace the existing Registration Council and transfer its work and assets to the new body.
