Abstract

In this chapter Moira Hulme and Aileen Kennedy talk about the ‘myth’ of Scottish education and about the widely acknowledged consensual nature of the education policy community. This has created a much more harmonious approach to teacher education policy than in some other parts of the UK. They trace the recent history of teacher education including in particular the ‘universitisation’ of provision as the colleges of education were each merged with universities. The General Teaching Council for Scotland has played a very significant role in teacher education policy since its formation in 1966 and this has included a key role in the development of a suite of professional standards as well as in processes of accreditation.
