sec.27 Period and renewal of permission to teach
The period of a permission to teach is the period stated in the certificate of permission to teach issued to the holder of the permission. The stated period must not be longer than 2 years from the day the college grants the permission. Permission to teach may be renewed for further periods not longer than 2 years each. However, a permission to teach may be renewed only if the holder has held the permission continuously for at least 2 years. At the end of the period of the permission to teach, the permission to teach ends. If an application for renewal of permission to teach is made before the period of the permission to teach ends, the permission to teach is taken to continue until the application is decided.
