Photograph: Alan BetsonA man who demonstrated “wholesale dishonesty” when he falsely represented his qualifications and registration status on more than 20 applications for teaching jobs has been removed from the Teaching Council’s register. The man may apply after 10 years from the date of removal to be restored to the register, a fitness-to-teach panel ruled on Friday. He falsely represented on 22 of the applications that he had full, as opposed to conditional, registration with the council. The registrant falsely represented on 15 applications that he had a qualification for teaching science, English, physical education and/or Irish.
