Inherent requirements
The Australian Government has recently introduced the Literacy and Numeracy Test for all initial teacher education (ITE) students to ensure they have a high level of personal literacy and numeracy skills required of teachers.
The test is a single, national instrument designed to assess elements of an individual’s literacy and numeracy skills and will be used to demonstrate that ITE graduates are in the top 30 percent of the population for literacy and numeracy.
All students commencing an ITE program after 1 January 2017 will be required to meet the benchmark prior to graduation.
There are also important inherent requirements for this course and applicants are strongly advised to become aware of these requirements.
