The number of trainee secondary teachers with good degrees has risen dramatically in recent years, new research has found.
The Good Teacher Training Guide 2013, an annual report produced by the Centre for Education and Employment Research at the University of Buckingham, shows that the proportion of secondary trainees with first or upper second class degrees has increased from 46 per cent in 1998 to 61 per cent in 2013.
There is a sharp variation between subjects, however, with more than 80 per cent of trainees with degrees in classics, social sciences, history and drama having good degrees, compared to below 60 per cent of ICT, science and design and technology graduates.
