A Fifth Year for Teacher Training at the UIB: Luxury or Necessity for Mallorca?

Answer

Will a longer teacher training degree make it harder for students in Mallorca to afford the career?

It might, especially for students who already depend on part-time work, family support or savings. On Mallorca, an extra year could widen gaps unless it is paired with paid practical periods, scholarships and help for students from more remote municipalities.
