今天的句子:
With fewer than a quarter of the target number of trainee physics teachers recruited last year, the government will launch a teacher training course specifically aimed at engineers. The plan is to bring more hands-on skills into the classroom. The government said this would give pupils the impetus to “tackle climate change, develop new vaccines and restore our place as a scientific superpower”.
思考题:
The government recruits engineers to__.
A.show off hands-on skills

背景:英国目前正面临招不到物理教师的困境。去年招到的实习物理教师不到计划的四分之一,缺口十分明显。为此,英国政府开始将目光投向工程师和工程专业的在校生,希望他们能转行做老师,并将更多实践技能带到课堂,培养下一代的科学从业者。英国的教育大臣表示,“没有好的教育,英国就无法恢复科技强国的地位;而没有好的老师,就不会有好的教育。当然,好的老师需要好的支持。”从2022至2023学年起,每位实习物理教师将获得24000英镑的助学金或26000英镑的奖学金。
