HMMMMmmmmmm....do you think guys that he pursue said path?
A lot depends on your brother-in-law's qualifications.
Quite a lot of British Universities and Teacher Training Establishments will only accept students with a recognised Bachelor's or Master's degree onto their PGCE courses.

Also - there are certain subjects that are oversubscribed at the moment - and others where there are chronic shortages in schools - such as maths and foreign languages. (Which happen to be MY specialities ) What a pity I am leaving the country.
