Early years teacher training welcomed
SPPA welcomes the Government's announcement that teachers working with children in the early years will receive specialist training in early education. New courses will provide specific training so that graduate teachers can best meet the needs of young children in nursery and early primary.
The Scottish Government is committing over £150,000 to pilot a postgraduate degree in early education for teachers at the University of Aberdeen and over £60,000 to the University of Stirling to develop a primary teaching degree with an early years specialism.
