Teaching In England is in Crisis
Shocked, surprised or just Oh, I already knew it reaction. Teachers in England can be C grade students but still can opt for teaching as a profession

It is a fact which has been brought to light by a study done by Professor John Howson. He was helped by another Professor David Burgeson, a leading trainer of maths teachers based at Plymouth University who said that up to 50% of Secondary School Maths teachers has not studied Maths at A level or as a part of their degree.
In fact the teachers do not have the confidence to deal with basic numeracy, this is different in most of the countries of world and Europe, there at least teachers have done Maths till their sixth form at least.
The only reason for this shocking state of affairs is because of the low level of qualification required for entry to the training courses of primary and secondary courses.
The candidates aspiring to teach the future generations can do so even if they have C grades in their Science, maths and English at Primary level and C grades in their Science and Maths for Secondary level teaching.
In fact the primary Teachers prefer to go for basic broad education degrees rather than subject specific courses, which means that the school has to use teachers who do not have proper education.
While in rest of Europe, the minimum expectations from an aspiring teacher is at least A grade. The Spokesman for Children, schools and families Department has obviously slammed the report as "Nonsense"
