Making teaching a Masters-level profession would be welcomed by the sector, new research has found.

Whats the point in a masters when alot of teachers can't work with young people?? There needs to be more young people training on the teacher training courses, if the masters did this then fair enough. But if its just a masters in a specialist subject theres no point.

I'm curious to know what you mean by that statement?!

I've seen a fair amount of qualified youth workers that didn't seem particularly good at working with or relating to young people so I doubt that its correct to assume simply lifting aspects of youth work training would improve teacher training in that area - I suspect this is more of a personality/soft skills issue and theres a question about whether it can be trained or just that some people aren't really suitable for the professions?
