Teachers: Qualifications

Tim Loughton
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families when he plans to bring forward specific proposals for the structure of the proposed Masters degree for the teaching profession.

Jim Knight
As we said in the Children's Plan, we will work with the social partnership for school work force reform and with the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) to agree how we realise our ambitions to make teaching a Masters level profession. We will publish more detailed proposals for the structure of the Masters degree as soon as we are ready to do so.
