Press Association : A report on the state of teacher training in the UK warns that the UK government faces a difficult choice. Currently, the government provides financial support to university graduates who train to become teachers, but only if they earned a “good” degree—that is, at least a lower second or 2:2 . That stipulation, according to the report’s authors, Alan Smithers and Pamela of the University of Buckingham, will make it increasingly difficult to recruit teachers for physics, chemistry, math, and languages.
