The quality of Teacher Training Centers can vary remarkably. However, there needs to be consistency at a very high level, with common expectations for institutional performance based on the competencies of Directors of Teacher Training Centers being at the same level. To achieve this, the Ministry of Education Youth and Sports has produced this “ Competency Standards for Director of Teacher Training Centers ” Those manage the pre-service and in-
service training of teachers and are responsible for all aspects of the performance of the institution. These competency standards are similar to those required of Directors of parallel colleges in the region. This ensures that our teacher trainees graduate with skills and competencies equal to those of other neighboring countries.
