It’s little surprise a large number of Kiwi teachers didn't pass some high-school subjects.

New research has found a quarter of new primary school teachers failed maths and more than half failed science at NCEA Level One.

More than half who pursued Level Two maths also failed.

The Teaching Council's calling for more investment and widespread changes to how teachers are prepared for the classroom.

Auckland University Dean of Education Mark Barrows told Mike Hosking that they've known for a while people heading into primary teaching tend to be under-qualified in those areas.

He says providers need to think about how they can produce programmes that help students get past that.
