, the number of students beginning education degrees in NSW dropped by almost a third between 2014 and 2019, and a national study found about half of students that do begin don’t finish.
They used to be able to do a one-year graduate diploma, but that was cut under a new, national approach to the accreditation of education degrees, phased in from 2013, which required all postgraduate programs be two years’ long. But with standards in place, there should be flexibility in how potential teachers reached them. “If the standard is fixed, then the time meeting it or the way you meet those standards can be variable,” he said. “The variable could be the two-year master’s, a one-year dip ed, or recognition for past learning.“I don’t think we should get rid of the two-year master’s. There’s a place for it, and those who want a more fulsome experience should have it.
“We need teachers to understand how to gather, interpret and use multiple forms of evidence to improve teaching and student outcomes, including wellbeing outcomes,” she said.
