3.2 Teacher Qualifications
Section 53 – (1) (b) the qualifications required of
teachers at that school
The standard
requires that teachers in
registered schools must be registered within the provisions of the Teachers
Registration Act 2000.
In order to meet the Standard, a school will have to
demonstrate that its teachers meet the requirements for
registration under the provisions of the
Teachers Registration Act 2000 by holding either:
- a
current Certificate of Registration; or
- a
current Limited Authority to Teach, or
- a
current Certificate of Provisional Registration.
It is desirable that teachers teaching in the first three
years of schooling possess either an early childhood
specialisation or a background in primary education.
The determination of the appropriate number of teachers
should take into account the number and kind of students
enrolled in the school and should not be significantly less
than required to give a ratio equivalent to that currently
applying in government schools in Tasmania.
The following minimum ratios of
registered teachers to students are the standards for
registered school.
Basic teacher/student ratios are:
| Primary (including kindergarten) |
1:23 |
| Secondary Years 7–10 |
1:17 |
| Secondary Years 11–12 |
1:16 |
