Closed Change the current assessment procedure for the PGCE Skills test - Literacy and Numeracy

Closed on

To withdraw the implementation of literacy and numeracy tests for postgraduate PGCE,QTS or reduce the re-sit period of two years.
What other profession has a bench mark test for literacy and numeracy that does not consider your level of academic entry grades? Which can then effect your future professional career. Presently the government requires you to wait two years to re-sit these tests so ineffect your career can be deferred for two years regardless of your teaching practice, previous grades and course assessment grades.The tests do not reflect the quality or standard of teaching implemented by trainee teachers.
