Description
Here we critically examine the Council’s February, 2022 report, entitled Creating an equitable future-focused Initial Teacher Education (ITE) system: The new ITE requirements – the journey so far. There is an underlying tension between ITE as a university education and ITE as a professional qualification. We place to one side the assumption that a regulatory body should drive the construction of an equitable and future-focused degree programme, and outline two significant concerns the Council’s report indicates: the reification of a false binary between theory and practice; and the Council’s explicit intention to determine the content, pedagogy, and assessment of tertiary programmes.
