Council on Professional Conduct in Education

The council, set up in 1994, is a non-statutory body promoting
professional conduct in education. It draws up operational criteria defining
the conduct expected of an educator and advises the Director of
Education, where necessary, on cases of disputes or alleged professional
misconduct. It has 23 elected members from schools and educational
organisations, and three members nominated by the Director of
Education. It aims to enhance the image and professionalism of teachers
and to attract more high-calibre young people into the teaching profession.
