A NEW scheme will give trainee physical education teachers experience of their chosen profession.
The would-be teachers will learn at 12 schools in Tyne and Wear and Northumberland, which make up a consortium managed by Northumbria University, Newcastle.
The North-East Partnership, accredited by the Teacher Training Agency, will take on 20 trainee secondary school physical education teachers each year.
They will get experience of working in a school and benefit from the expertise of qualified teachers.
