The skills needed to run a classroom and the skills needed to tutor are quite different. I am unaware of any current rules about the education-level of tutors, and I doubt there are or will be any.
> The choice for CCs isn't between student teachers and experienced degree'd teachers. It's between student teachers and no teachers or teachers who know nothing about programming.
Student teachers (unless part of a TA situation and supervised) probably aren't a solution either unless we're talking certificates and not college credits.

I've taken many classes from adults who've never taught a class before. I've taught classes yet have had zero instruction in classroom technique. Frankly, I don't see a difference in effectiveness between them and people with teaching degrees.
