Assistants regularly teach pupils

Quote:
Pupils in Wales are regularly taught by staff who are not fully qualified teachers, according to BBC research.Weekly timetables in more than a quarter of 172 schools who responded include lessons which are taught or supervised by teaching assistants.
One Swansea school uses supervisors for 150 hours of classes per week, the BBC's Politics Show Wales has found.
Quote:
Unison, which represents teaching assistants, said the extent to which some of its members were being asked to stand in for teachers was a concern. The Politics Show Wales asked schools throughout the country about the way they use teaching assistants.
Personally I'm not surprised and I'll bet it takes place in England as well.I'm wondering how many parents were aware of this?
