Overdue move for teachers


AS a former teacher educator and one who is still very much interested in teacher development I sighed with relief when I read the report Primary schools to have graduate teachers from next year (The Star, Jan 27). It’s overdue.  

The proposed 50-50 ratio could have been operational much earlier, alongside the graduate-conversion programme for secondary school teachers.
