Quotes

The Royal Society submission states: "We are surprised and disappointed at the notable absence in the proposals of any requirement for those applying to enter programmes of primary teacher education to have a science qualification. Given the conclusions drawn by the SEEAG report - it is clear to us that a firm grounding in mathematics is not only important in its own right, but also essential to make progress. Surely there cannot be an assumption that entrants to primary teaching will be weak in science and mathematics and that this just has to be accepted as a fact of life? If this were to be the case, it would have serious implications."
