Supporting Education in Scotland
GTCS performs a number of functions to support and inform the teaching profession and the wider public about Scottish education. It produces a magazine issued five times a year ( Teaching Scotland). This publication carries a range of news articles and features about education activities across the country. It is issued to nearly 80,000 teachers on the GTCS register.
In addition to this, GTCS holds a number of events throughout the year to promote and recognise the teaching profession. This includes, among many other activitities, its Annual Lecture. The Lecture has previously been given by Annie Lennox, Lord David Puttnam, Christopher Brookmyre, and Baroness Warnock amongst others.
GTCS operates a number of websites providing information about education in Scotland including Teaching Scotland Online and Probationer Teacher Scotland.
