If they've finished college and plan on going into education and can't mix fractions and percents, then it has nothing to do with their primary school math scores.
Which is actually a much larger question - how are teachers graduating from university without being able to do 5th grade math?

So to become a teacher you have to complete either 36 or 72 hours of math education over a single 6 month period, even teaching math in grade 12. That's it. That's less than 2 hours of math per week over 6 months. More scary is that it DOESN'T mention exams. There seems to be no need to actually remember anything. You have to complete "practicum" which seems to be 2 months of helping out a teacher in a classroom, and "more" in the second year.
