Comparison of teacher training systems



The variety of European teacher training systems is clearly shown by the tables below, where only the five project’s partner countries are compared. Due to different educational traditions, cultures and societies, this variety makes it hard to come up with a reasonably fair proposal for a single European teacher training system.

The tables below are therefore meant to be a tool for reflection, to be used by educators and policy makers at both national and European level. Nevertheless, as regards lower secondary school teacher training in mathematics, these tables and, above all, the detailed description of the national educational teacher training systems allowed the Project Team to point out communalities and differences, and to get a general idea of both advantages and disadvantages of the examined systems. This sort of outcomes, together with ideas by stakeholders in the field of education will form the basis for a wider debate and possible future suggestions for changes at European level, in view of making teachers’ mobility throughout Europe really possible, at both administrative and professional level.
