Petition Remove Maths & English GCSE requirement for Teacher Training Courses

For students (like me) who have Dyslexia/Dyscalculia (Mathematical Dyslexia) are unable to do QTS PGCE courses due to government requirements of all teachers having to have Maths and English GCSE. Please allow an alternative route for these students so we can have more teachers in our schools.

More details

Allow schools across the UK to have more teachers so that we do not risk the shortage ever again, students like me who have Dyscalculia are turned away despite being passionate about their subject and Teaching profession. Let there be an alternative route onto Teaching Courses so that we are able to support the future generation in education.
