Dr. Lynn Ramsey:

That is a really interesting question and I thank the Acting Chair for it. The standards that we work to are the standards within that national policy piece and the Céim standards that we have identified. We have not had a programme like that which the Acting Chair is describing in the kind of conversion space presented to us within the context of that piece. While it might be tempting to say there is somebody in a cognate discipline, when we look at that comparison maybe compared to the qualifications required within the initial teacher education requirements, we might find there are quite a number of pieces missing in terms of not just subject discipline, but also the pedagogy part that underpins that and all the high standards. I will ask Ms Murphy to talk generally about the initial teacher education standards and what that might look at.
