Teacher education

current conditions and problems

Abstract

Concerns with better qualification of teacher training and their professional practice conditions are
not recent. Nevertheless, today these concerns loom larger before the acute stage of socio-cultural
inequalities that we live and to the challenges that the near future seems to put us. The training of
those who will educate – teachers - becomes central in the formal educational process towards the
preservation of a civilization that contains better life opportunities and co-participation. So,
understanding and discussing the training, working conditions and career of teachers, and, due to
their professional identity configuration, it becomes important for understanding and discussing the
educational quality of a country or a region. This is the essence of this paper.
