the party’s view is that all registered teachers working in primary or secondary school for at least ten years, further education in the subject methodology or a subject he or she teaches. Alternatively, the teacher should be able to read the Authorization in another substance. The teacher may meanwhile 80 percent of regular salary, and the costs are covered by the state. The reform will be permanent and liberals sells two billion per year over the next four years, which is eight billion.

The party also proposes Master should be a requirement to become subject teachers and admission requirements for teacher training increased. In addition, the party wants to subject teacher education concentrated in the six major universities and to require permissions in the current topic to get a score.
