A recent study carried out by the National Institute of Elementary Education (INEDI) testing teachers from first to fifth grade in public and private schools revealed major flaws in the educational levels of teachers. As reported in Listin Diario, only 31% of teachers who participated in the research had the minimum required levels.
Major deficiencies were found in the spelling standards of the sample of 100 teachers tested. 88.6% made serious spelling errors and did not pronounce all the consonants when speaking.
Inedi director Rosa Riza said the study was carried out on the assumption that children are reproducing what their teachers are teaching them. "We understand that teacher training colleges as well as school principals need to tackle this situation and train primary school teachers so that they can achieve minimum levels of reading, pronunciation and writing Spanish correctly," she said.
The study was held during a two-day workshop attended by 96 elementary teachers from three public schools and three private schools.
