Answer 1

The option that is NOT a minimum competency required of newly qualified teachers is:

O b. Be able to identify learning or social problems and work alone to address these.

This statement suggests that teachers should work alone to address problems, which contradicts the collaborative nature of teaching and the support systems in place for addressing learning and social issues. Effective teaching typically involves working with colleagues, support staff, and other professionals to address such challenges.
