Understanding the needs of Ukrainian Teacher Training Institutions

UNESCO has launched a component on Teacher Professional Development (TPD which aims to support Teacher Training Institutions (TTIs) in Ukraine in different areas of action. These include developing TPD training courses to address gaps, enhancing digital solutions for teacher training course delivery, strengthening norms, protocols and standards for TPD provision and developing an online teacher trainer community of practice.

This policy paper provides an overview of TPD provision by Ukrainian TTIs and non-state providers, identifies key challenges and gaps in the current system, and offers recommendations to enhance the sustainability, effectiveness, and content of TPD courses in Ukraine.

This paper is part of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE)-funded programme ‘Strengthening Resilience of Education Systems in Ukraine for Emergency Response and Recovery’, implemented by UNESCO.
