** Trainee teacher dropout warning ** Nearly one in three people who train to be teachers in England does not go on to work in the profession, a report suggests. < http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/news/education-20340362 >
This is a worrying statistic. We need to make sure that most trainees go on to become teachers. There is bound to be a certain drop out rate but for every potential teacher that leaves training a great deal of time and money has been wasted. Perhaps if the government removed tuition fees for PGCEs there would be fewer candidates falling by the wayside?
