Primary Teachers Registration Board

Full description

The Education (Teacher Registration) Act 1971 provided for an amendment of the Education Act 1958 by establishing divisional registration boards and a Teacher Registration Council, which became operational in February 1973.

The Primary Teachers' Registration Board was responsible for registering qualified primary teachers. Registration was a pre-requisite for employment as a primary teacher with the Education Department.

The Board consisted of nine members representing the Department, teacher unions and Teachers' Colleges.

The Board amalgamated with VA 1635 Secondary Teachers' Registration Board, VA 1636 Technical Teachers' Registration Board, and VA 1226 Teacher Registration Council in 1987 to form the Teachers' Registration Board VA 4087.
