Imagine being that intelligent just to end up being a marxist
Honestly though when the fuck did this McCarthyist hysteria become so prevalent and normalized in this country? Its just so absurd. If anything culture in most Universities in the UK is a hellscape of late-stage capitalism, people with barely any money paying out the eyes constantly for an “experience” provided by casualized workers on near minimum wage funneling millions upon millions to the few big wigs at the top of the institute.
Here we go then – the government attempting to exercise political thought control in schools. The funny thing is, that education is the enemy of the right-leaning capitalist; I wonder how long it’ll be before the Tories just straight-up try shutting schools down for their supposed ‘biases’.
Next up, book banning / burning.
Prager U will take over UK teacher training…
This will appease the non-University going DM readerbase who knows f*** all about culture inside Universities they didn’t attend.
What specific part of ITT is too political for them? Always interesting to see that people who have never done X always have an opinion on it.
The probably don’t like how teaching staff actually work hard to be inclusive towards children with SEN, children from minority backgrounds and LGBT children.
Teachers are going to be an endangered species soon. Plenty of us have left the profession, with some not even entering once they have completed their training because of how it breaks you. Get rid of university-led teacher training and even fewer will try to enter the profession. The government will then find itself desperate for teachers in a decade and will probably lower the requirements to become qualified, leading to an influx of poor teachers and a general decline in teaching standards and student outcomes.
I’m going to copy paste a response I made to this post elsewhere on Reddit:
Part of this stinks of also trying to push away the costs of ITT provision.
In reality, unless someone who’s undergone teacher training moves outside of teaching to a much higher paying career, they’re never going to come anywhere close to repaying their student loans, even if you only account their ITT year.
That poses three potential solutions: lower tuition fees to a reasonable level (which they’ll never do), pay teachers more to move them into a higher repayment bracket (which they’ll never do), or try and outsource the costs by forcing more trainees to go down routes like TeachFirst (which is a much more attractive, if shortsighted, solution.)
Apparently Miss Black using the word “facism” was extreme though…
If they don’t want teachers to be left wing they should pay them more lolololol…
