Original request
Summary of request
Full request
If it is possible, I would like to request, under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, the number of registered teachers with Professional Recognition from GTC Scotland in Inclusive Education – including “Inclusive Education: Practitioner Enquiry” and “Inclusive Education (deaf learners, visually impaired learners or bilingual learners)” – for each of the last 5 registration years.
Response
We have provided a response to your request in the table below. Please note there may be programmes of study which have concluded by the end of the school session for 2025 but have not yet submitted an application for the relevant teacher.
By way of advice and assistance, there are several programmes which are recognised by GTC Scotland for teachers gaining registration in Additional Support Needs. These programmes would cover inclusive education but would not appear in the table below.
Finally, the information below is compiled based on the calendar year for GTC Scotland and not the Registration Year from March to April of the following year.
