MORE than one in three Irish maths teachers in secondary schools never qualified in the subject, it has been revealed. Fine Gael's spokesman on education, Brian Hayes, said just 3,858 of the 5,900 teachers graduated in the subject from college. "The fact that over 2,000 maths teachers do not have a maths degree must be of some concern," he said. "It would obviously be an advantage that every teacher ... had actually studied it."
