Teachers 'need better training'

BBC News

Summary:
English teachers should have more training day’s says the Institute for Public Policy Research. Right now every teacher has to have 5 training days a year. This should be quadrupled to 20 a year. To become a teacher someone only needs one year of training before he or she can start working. Tests show that this is not enough to become a well-trained teacher. A two-year program would be best. This two-year training is equivalent to 20 extra training days a year. These extra training days cost the government £75m a year whereas the extra year of training costs £850m. This makes the extra training days the better option.

The government doesn’t angry with this. They believe that the teachers of today are the best ever. To them more training days is not the answer to the problem. Teachers should be motivated to do there job. Teachers who more bad days then good ones should be removed from their school and go to another one to be retrained. It is all about energizing the people in the profession.

Opinion:
I don’t think that giving the teacher more training days is the answer to the problem. Because of these extra training days the students will have more days off. They are in school to learn and training days should not prevent that from happening. I believe it is true that you should keep your teacher informed. And more training days would help, but 20 days is a little bit too much if you ask me.
Motivation is also a big part of how good a teacher is in front of the classroom. Schools themselves could help to keep their teachers motivated. I think the best way to do so is to keep communicating. If the teachers would all talk to each other and help each other out, the teachers would be more excited to stand in front of the classroom and to teach the students something new.
