Erica Stanford: Education Minister on new teachers not being set up to succeed

The Education Review Office (ERO) found new teachers are not being set up to succeed and need more support. 

Nearly two-thirds of principals reported teachers are coming to the role unprepared. More than a quarter of new teachers say their initial teacher education was ineffective. 

Education Minister Erica Stanford tells Mike Hosking strengthening initial teacher education is a priority. 

Stanford hopes that by next year systems will be in place to moderate providers for a consistent approach to what is being taught at initial tertiary education, what is happening on placement, and what happens in the first two years on the job.
