In developing countries across the world, qualified teachers are a
rarity, with thousands of untrained adults taking over the role and
millions of children having no access to schooling at all. The
supply of high-quality teachers is falling behind: poor status, low
salaries and inadequate working conditions characterise perceptions
of teachers in numerous countries, deterring many from entering the
profession, and there are strong critiques of the one dimensional,
didactic approach to pedagogic practice. Despite this, millions of
teachers are dedicated to educating a newly enfranchised generation
of learners. Teacher Education and the Challenge of Development is
co-written by experts working across a wide range of developing
country situations. It provides a unique overview of the crisis
surrounding the provision of high-quality teachers in the
developing world, and how these teachers are crucial to the
alleviation of poverty. The book explores existing policy
structures and identifies the global pressures on teaching, which
are particularly acute in developing economies. In summarising the
key policy and research issues and analysing innovative approaches
to teacher supply, retention and education, this book: establishes
an overview and conceptual analysis of the challenge to extend and
improve the teaching force in developing contexts; sets out and
analyses the quantitative and qualitative evidence around teacher
contexts and conditions; provides a series of national studies that
analyse the context of teachers and the policies being pursued to
improve the number and quality of teachers; looks at a range of
significant issues that could contribute to the reformulation and
reform of teacher policies; provides an overarching analysis of the
nature and challenges of teaching and the possible interventions or
solutions, in a form accessible to policy and research communities.
This book will be of interest to educationalists and researchers in
education, teachers, policy makers and students of development
courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
