asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he now has to permit the use of unqualified teachers as instructors in Scottish day schools.
Education authorities who wish to employ instructors in the schools are asked to observe the limitations set out in my Department's Circular No. 680 issued on 6th May, 1968. I am sending the hon. Gentleman a copy. Previous employment as an unqualified teacher is not a relevant consideration.

Unregistered teachers may hold temporary appointments in special schools subject to the approval of the reference panel until 31st July, 1973. The appointment of teachers in further education is governed by the Further Education (Scotland) Regulations 1959. Registration is not at present required.
