Is there any merit in referencing the subjects taught at each stage (possibly not and this might get too complex!)

<p>Teaching pupils at different ages and abilities means you'll always be expanding your knowledge and approach to meet pupils' needs. Once you have qualified teacher status (QTS) you can also teach any other subject, as long as you can show you have enough expertise.</p>

Shouldn't this partial be in the qualifications-training folder rather than age-groups-and-specialisms?

Actually - and far more importantly - this is almost an exact duplicate of https://github.com/DFE-Digital/get-into-teaching-app/blob/master/app/views/content/shared/qualifications-training/_check_qualifcations.html.erb which is the partial used on the subject pages

The only difference I can see is:

  • this one - Having relevant A levels can show your subject knowledge, if you do not have a degree in the subject you want to teach.
  • subjects one - Having relevant A levels can show your subject knowledge, if you do not have a degree in <%= @front_matter["subject"] %>.

I don't think the benefit of the slightly different wording outweighs having two partials to maintain?

I would suggest that rather than creating a new partial, you update the one used on the subject pages to slightly more generic ie subject you want to teach. I think there is still enough mention of the subject in the Quals section on the subject pages for this not to make too much difference?

But do discuss with @Sarah-DfE and disagree if needed!

(Either way, this partial should not be in age-groups-and specialisms - the folder should relate to what the partial is about, not where it is used!)

<h3>Check your qualifications</h3>
<p>To train to teach <%= @front_matter["subject"] %> in England, you'll need:</p>
<ul>
<li>GCSEs at grade 4 (C) or above in English and maths (and science if you want to teach primary)</li>
<li>a bachelor's degree in any subject</li>
</ul>
<p>Having relevant A levels can show your subject knowledge, if you do not have a degree in the subject you want to teach.</p>

Should we be adding this partial (separate ticket!) to subject pages where there is not an internship?

<p>To help you decide if you want to start teacher training, you can <a href="/train-to-be-a-teacher/get-school-experience">get school experience</a>.</p>
<p>Spending a few days in the classroom getting to know what it is really like being a teacher could give you the confidence to know it is the right career for you.</p>
