New Australian Institute of Teaching & School Leadership data indicate that the number of high school graduates with the best marks choosing to become teachers is in decline. In 2005 they accounted for 40%-plus of the total enrolments in teaching courses at university, but by 2012 this had fallen to below 30%. The Australian Education Union has repeatedly called for the number of places offered to be reduced, as there is an over-supply of teachers and quality is suffering. The growth rate per annum for teaching enrolments was 8% in 2012, compared with 4% on average for all fields
