Aspiring teachers who receive low marks in year 12 may be banned from classrooms as the Victorian government considers lifting benchmarks for entry into teaching degrees.
Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre data shows admissions ranking scores for primary and secondary teaching courses for 2015 averaged 57.35, down from from 63.4 in 2013.
A spokesman for Education Minister James Merlino said the state government was looking at options to attract teachers of the highest calibre, and that could include a mandatory literacy and numeracy test.
