The Initial Teacher Education Research Project (ITERP) studied the BEd curricula for mathematics and language and literacy for teachers intending to teach in the Intermediate Phase at 5 universities (Taylor, 2014; Deacon, 2016). In addition, tests in maths and English were used to assess the extent to which samples of 4th-year students and newly qualified teachers (NQTs) from these universities had mastered the content of these subjects, at the level the primary school curriculum. This document provides a summary of the performance of the 4th year students who wrote the pilot test in 2014 and the NQTs who wrote the revised test in 2015.
