Whilst most science teachers employed by the Department of Education and Training possess either a Bachelor of Science degree together with a Graduate Diploma of Education or a Bachelor of Science degree and a Bachelor of Education, teachers hold a variety of qualifications, and in many cases, multiple qualifications from a variety of tertiary institutions. These include specialist graduate diplomas, higher diplomas, certificates, masters, and doctorates.
A specific answer to this question would require a manual examination of the records of all 888 science teachers referred to in the answer to question 4711. This would require significant resources which would need to be redirected away from the task of staffing schools
