Ministry of Education: Trainee teachers proposal 'one option'

A proposal for trainee teachers to go through an extra year of on-the-job training will not go to Cabinet this month, as reported in the Herald yesterday.

A Ministry of Education spokesman on Sunday told the Herald the proposal was "one suggestion" being considered.

Yesterday the ministry said the draft set of proposals was "not yet complete and not been circulated externally".

Education Minister Chris Carter said in a statement the ministry's advice was not yet complete and no proposal was going to Cabinet this month.
