The paper has significance for those concerned with future policy and planning in the area of preservice teacher education yet has a broader impact for all educational planners. It is written from the perspective of a concerned tertiary educator with over twenty-five years’ experience in education. The author currently co-ordinates a post-graduate course in preservice teacher education at a university in Western Australia.
