More than half of today's students would not be eligible, says Petra Pauli, dean at the University of Borås, to the newspaper.
In late November, the government's investigator Peter Honeth will present his proposals for stricter admission requirements for teacher training programs. Much suggests, according to himself, that one of them will be a requirement for at least a C in Swedish for most teacher training programs.
The Swedish language is the teachers' most important tool and they need to master it well, he says to Vi Lärare.
Such a requirement would, according to the newspaper, have stopped around half of all today's teacher students. According to calculations from the University of Gothenburg, it is only between 40 and 62 percent of teacher students in western Sweden over the past two years who have had at least a C in Swedish.
In Stockholm and elsewhere, Vi Lärare estimates that around 40 percent of today's teacher students would become ineligible.
