{{Main|Education in Scotland}}

In [[Scotland]], anyone wishing to teach must be registered with the [[General Teaching Council for Scotland]] (GTCS). Teaching in Scotland is an all graduate profession and the normal route for graduates wishing to teach is to complete a programme of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) at one of the seven Scottish Universities who offer these courses. Once successfully completed, "Provisional Registration" is given by the GTCS which is raised to "Full Registration" status after a year if there is sufficient evidence to show that the "Standard for Full Registration" has been met.<ref>[http://www.gtcs.org.uk/Becoming_a_Teacher/Trainingtobeateacher/Trainingtobeateacher.asp Training to be a teacher] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080129112253/http://www.gtcs.org.uk/Becoming_a_Teacher/Trainingtobeateacher/Trainingtobeateacher.asp |date=29 January 2008 }} GTC Scotland</ref>
