Teaching degrees
Submitted by paulstpancras on Tue, 2010-01-19 13:03.I had a teacher at my grammar school who had a double first from Cambridge or Oxford, I forget which.
He was very bright but useless as a teacher. I also had a teacher who had no degree just a teaching certificate. He was brilliant and 12 of us got grade one at GCE.
If your teacher had grade D it was at A level. A grade 4 (D?) was a pass and equivalent to today's A-C.
The Conservative policy would make sense if increased salaries went with the policy.
As it is, it is just another cheapskate policy trying to get something for nothing.
I approve of the 5 year Masters in Finland and the Finns pay teachers accordingly.
This proposal is just another Gove cock up.
