I agree how do u expect a successful nation when u can do teaching with 60 atar

teaching should be moved up to 95 req and all ass teacher should be kicked out immediately

and there should be a Tate (teaching aptitude test e)
95 is an unnecessarily high cutoff, but 60 is definitely too low.

75-80+ would definitely bring in a slightly more well-organized cohort of students to fields like teaching and nursing and the society would benefit.

my school was the first in nsw to run a future teachers club, basically it allows students to visit other schools and teach classes so they can try out teaching as a profession. this definetly encourages more teachers to enter the workforce, who are genuinely passionate about teaching.

That is an interesting initiative.

Unfortunately, the problem is not the teacher numbers entering, it is the number of teachers who leave shortly after starting, as much as 50% of the teaching graduate cohorts leave within 10 years. Around 60% of people who hold teaching degrees or certifications do not work as teachers.

As someone in their 14th year as an educator, I can tell you that the job of teaching/training/tutoring is unendingly harder than people tend to think and is never done as well as it could be.

Regardless, having slightly more well-organized high school entrants/mature aged students will definitely help a little, but the education industry/sector in Australia has a long way to go before it works like it ideally should.

i agree, i think teaching is honestly one of the hardest jobs to do well. you have to be extremely patient, have very clear speaking skills, manage varying skill levels of students and so on. but promoting more people into teaching degrees from high school will certainly help improve the situation, as many students might not have considered the path before; despite them having the necessary skills (or will to build them)

There already is, some teachers in nsw have to take the Casper test before entering uni, which is a decision making test people use to enter med in Canada and some parts of Australia alongside gamsat postgrad-
