The Canberra Times outlines a report by the Australian College of Education urging higher standards in teaching. It proposes eight measures including university based teacher training, minimum standards, and uniform qualifications, with calls for Commonwealth funding and potential Premiers’ Conference involvement.
The Commonwealth faces calls to fund and coordinate national teacher training while Sir Robert Mengies urges leaving the issue to State governments. Critics warn this ignores varied state standards and mobility issues, urging accreditation authorities and compulsory teacher registration across states to tidy anomalies.
The article argues that the Commonwealth should reassess its stance on teacher training, stressing its essential role alongside university oversight. It warns neglect of teacher preparation contributes to high university failure rates, urges keeping college recommendations and urges Premiers to discuss funding for school development at the forthcoming conference.

Architect Malcolm Dynell urges Brisbane to embrace trees and planning to curb riverside embankments and seen eyesores.
