Guardian: Teacher training courses take on ‘risky’ students
Universities with teacher training courses are taking on “risky” students in shortage subjects to fill their quotas, researchers claimed today.
Science and maths subjects attract fewer teacher trainees with first and 2:1 degrees who are more likely to drop out or not get jobs in the classroom, according to the Good Teacher Training Guide 2008 published today.
But the government’s teaching training agency, the TDA, attacked the report’s findings for suggesting students without good degrees would make bad teachers.
