Teacher Education in the Euro-Mediterranean Region considers teacher education provision in a number of Euro-Mediterranean countries and territories. Although each state in the region has its own particular challenges to meet, this book identifies and discusses the common concerns that result from the process of transition and change that each country is presently experiencing. Key issues and challenges are outlined, and strategies are developed and proposed with a view to ensuring quality provision. In particular, the necessity of reforming the training of tomorrow’s teachers in order to facilitate a transformation in primary-and secondary-level schooling is highlighted.

This book presents case studies of educational innovation in a number of Mediterranean countries. Each chapter provides the reader with a background detailing key national socio-cultural, economic, and political dynamics that drive educational development in the region. As they attempt to meet the challenge of participating in the global economy, several countries in the south of Europe and the Middle East and North African region look toward formal education to bring about change – be this through curricular reform, the introduction of information technology, or the engagement of new and more effective forms of instruction. This collection provides important insights into the process of innovation and the role that education plays in modernization.
