Section 41

If the supervisor of a school or person who applies for registration of a school is of opinion that there is not available a suitable registered teacher for employment in the school whereof he is supervisor or in the proposed school, he may make application to the Director‑General in the Form 6 set out in the Schedule for authority to employ a person to teach who is not registered as a teacher and for authority for that person to teach as an unregistered teacher.

Subject to section 42 and after such inquiry as may be necessary, the Director‑General may issue to the applicant an authority in writing in the Form 7 set out in the Schedule and shall issue to the unregistered teacher a copy thereof and that copy shall be deemed to be the unregistered teacher’s authority to teach.

Such authority shall state the school in which and the period for which the unregistered teacher may teach and may at the discretion of the Director‑General impose limitations as to the subjects and classes which he may teach.
