This does not answer the question. As from this coming academic year the Professional Diploma in Education (Level 8), previously the HDip, will not exist. This is the qualification needed to become a secondary school teacher. It is being replaced by a two year Professional Master of Education (Level 9). There is no other option other than doing this 2 year programme to qualify to teach in secondary schools. As this has replaced what was the Professional Diploma in Education, which Ms Burton states is included under the scheme, surely it should be covered. I have nearly completed four years of my Arts Degree in the hope of becoming a secondary school teacher of Spanish and Religion. Without BTEA it will be impossible for me to do that.
