PHYSICS TEACHERS

Early day motion 467, tabled 12 July 2010 by Nicholas Dakin (Labour). Signed by 99 members.

That this House expresses its concern at the lack of specialist physics teachers and the consequent drastic drop in the number of entrants to physics A-level; recognises the threat this poses to UK physics and engineering and therefore to the UK economy; and calls for greater incentives to attract physics graduates into teaching in order to create access to high-quality physics teaching for every child.
