Below is the plan to tackle a recruitment crisis in Scotland’s schools. Does this deskill teachers? Is it a good idea? Would you support it in England?
STUDENTS will be accepted into university teaching courses even if they do not have basic English and maths qualifications in a bid to tackle a recruitment crisis in Scotland’s schools.
A Higher pass in English or standard grade equivalent in maths will no longer be required, fuelling fears over the future of the country’s education system.
Scottish ministers backed a plan by the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) to effectively scrap entry requirements for student teachers.
Applicants must agree to gain the schoollevel qualifications while at university before they gain a teaching degree.
