It’s unambiguously true. Look at how many people graduate with an education major vs other majors such as mathematics or engineering. If you deny that a mathematics degree is significantly more difficult than an education degree then I have nothing more to say.

The story supports the idea that many people could be childhood educators based on the fact that the program was not scrapped, the degreeless teachers weren’t sacked, and the customers were apparently satisfied.

“Tested grades and subjects” includes math basically everywhere. Those weren’t considered here.

Again, you may be right, but this study doesn’t really support what you’re claiming.
