EU proposes to improve quality of teacher education in the European Union - Public Technology
The European Commission has set out proposals to improve the quality of teacher training in the EU. eLearning may be a key tool employed. High-quality teaching is a prerequisite for high-quality education and training, which are in turn a powerful determinant of Europe’s long-term competitiveness and capacity to create more jobs and growth. If adopted by Member States, the proposals agreed yesterday will ensure that the EU has the highly-educated workforce it will need to face up to the pressures of the 21st century.... To prepare their pupils for the EU’s increasingly knowledge-based society, teachers are called upon to teach a new range of skills, which often require new teaching methods. Moreover, teachers are increasingly called upon to teach classes that have pupils from different cultures, mother tongues, ability levels and levels of special needs.
