There have to my certain knowledge been a lot more teachers trained in the last 10 years.I have to say that was not the experience under the conservatives under Mrs Thatcher and John Major.Indeed in 1974 I stood in a hall of over 100 probationary teachers being welcomed to the City of Portsmouth by the LEA.6/7 years later there were only 5.
Agreed there are still shortages in key areas such as Maths,Science and IT but education has benefited where new teachers are concerned.
A small point but one I feel compelled to point it out.
