Three more face class ban over competence
THREE more Scottish teachers are set to be struck off the register after they were sacked for professional incompetence, it was revealed yesterday.
Last week, Susan Barnard became the first Scottish teacher to be struck off for incompetence. The new cases are due to go before disciplinary hearings at the end of January.
The chief executive of the General Teaching Council Scotland (GTCS), the body which has the power to strike teachers off the register, said his organisation would not shirk from using the ultimate sanction.
The teachers involved have been sacked for incompetence by the councils that employed them in the past 18 months, then referred to the GTCS.
Mrs Barnard admitted incompetence after working at Coupar Angus and Comrie primary schools.
