Labor has warned it will introduce mandatory entry scores for teaching degrees if universities do not toughen their admission standards.
In the face of growing concern over entry scores for teaching degrees, the deputy opposition leader, Tanya Plibersek, said on Sunday that if universities did not move to lift standards, a Labor government would move to make Atar (Australian tertiary admission rank) caps mandatory.
“Labor wants our young people competing to get into teaching in the same way they compete to get into medicine,” she said. “We want young Australians with a track record of achievement, motivation and capability to teach the next generation.”
The comments come amid increasing focus on the entry standards for university teaching degrees.
