Optimism in the education sector as the number of people studying to be a teacher rises.

There's been about 3,500 new domestic enrolments to initial teacher training this year – up 30% on the same time last year.

Primary education's grown by 31%, while enrolments in secondary are up 28%, and 24% for ECE.

PPTA President Chris Abercrombie told Andrew Dickens that doesn't reflect the need, in terms of shortages.
