Quang Hong Pham, Nam Danh Nguyen

Abstract


This paper presents international experiences and the real situation of the teacher education system in Vietnam. This research has also shown some challenges that teacher education institutions would face within the context of radical and comprehensive education renovation. Based on analyzing the teacher education system and teacher education management, the paper presents some viewpoints and principles for restructuring teacher education as well as draws lessons for Vietnam in renovating the teacher education model. Then, the paper proposes the new teacher education model and reorganized the teacher education system, in which the research determines some key educational universities and their “satellites†educational universities and colleges at localities across the country. The paper also suggests a solution for establishing the connection between key educational universities and their satellites among the system so that it could meet the requirements of the labor market and society. These suggestions help educational universities and colleges to reorganize their functions and missions of training future teachers. The research also makes a contribution to change the policies for teachers and teacher education in Vietnam.
