Missions and Objectives of the Teacher Education Network

The primary mission of the UNESCO-IICBA's Teacher Education Network (TEN) is to facilitate the sharing of both positive and negative experiences, and also research and development of new knowledge and skills among African teacher education institutions. The Network will be a medium for the development of up-to-date and well-experienced teacher educators in Africa. It is also believed that, through participation in the Network, African teacher education institutions will become competent and effective institutions that employ modern curricula, teaching methods, and information and communication technologies.

The missions are intended to be accomplished through the achievement of the following objectives:

1. Unite teacher education institutions Africa wide to each other and to key institutions internationally.
2. Establish an electronic and paper library in the form of core texts, CD-ROMs and the Internet.
3. Update curricula in primary and secondary teacher education institutions in Africa.
4. Improve mathematics, science, technology and language teaching among teacher educators and their students.
5. Network with teachers' associations in Africa with the objectives of ensuring that these associations focus on the improvement of the quality of teaching-learning processes.
