(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations specify work that may be carried out in schools by qualified teachers and persons who satisfy specified requirements. The requirements to be satisfied are specified in Schedule 2.
Schedule 2 to these Regulations now provides for most of those persons who were mentioned in Schedule 2 to the Education (Teachers' Qualifications and Health Standards) (Wales) Regulations 1999 to carry out specified work in schools, in the same circumstances as previously. Paragraph 8 of Schedule 2 to these Regulations provides for other persons to carry out specified work in schools if the conditions mentioned in that paragraph are satisfied. Persons categorised as “student teachers” under the 1999 Regulations (i.e. those awaiting admission to a course of initial training for teachers or deferring its completion) can no longer carry out specified work in the same circumstances as previously but must satisfy the conditions in paragraph 8.
These Regulations also provide for qualified teachers carrying out work specified in regulation 6 in schools to be registered with the General Teaching Council for Wales.
