Don't we have something sort of similar here? Sure there was talk of a fast-track scheme to get people with 'industry experience' into teaching jobs without having to go through the hassle of learning how to teach.
I believe academies and free schools can basically employ anyone they like as a teacher, although I don't know how many unqualified teachers there actually are out there.
Lord Nash, a schools minister, set up a free school and gave his unqualified daughter a job as a history teacher. There was also a case of some aristo who set one up and made his granddaughter head teacher straight out of university, although she resigned after a few weeks.
