I feel if they make it much harder to get into the profession that would weed down a lot of the 'not fit to be a teachers'. Right now if I remember right (my wife's a teacher) to get into Education at the U of A was something like a 2.5 GPA. That's something a long the lines of a B-/C+. Doesn't that indicate a lack of mastery in the material and how would they be fit to teach such a subject?
Not only that they have like 300-400 teachers that graduate every year. Multiply that with how many schools we have and wow, there's an over abundance of teachers. With too many graduates and not enough spots, well... what's the point?
If they start restricting the amount of seats as say pharmacy or raise the standard entrance to those of engineering, the end product of quality teachers would rise significantly.
