There's concerns from experts that new teacher training requirements will exacerbate workforce shortages.

The Government's action plan includes teacher trainees needing to have achieved NCEA Level Two maths.

Teacher Education Forum executive chair, Rosina Merry, says many enter the profession well after leaving school.

She says the sector isn't against the Government working with the Teaching Council to increase entry requirements - but after some time and consultation.

"We're not suggesting we put it off, we're suggesting slowing it down a little bit. The pace of change for teachers - and for the sector - is huge."
