§ Mr. CameronTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what representations the Government have received about the mandatory requirement for head teachers to join the General Teaching Council; and if he will n Lake a statement. [178052]
§ Mr. MilibandAs far as I am aware, the Government have not received any formal representations on this matter. The present facts are that any qualified teacher, whether they be classroom teachers or part of the senior management team, are required to register with the GTC and that all head teachers are currently required to have Qualified Teacher Status.
