Competent technical and vocational education [TVE] teachers are critical in the training of a technologically able and skilled workforce that is globally competitive and can effectively contribute to sustainable economic growth and development. For technical teachers to be globally competitive, their training has to be based on a standard curriculum, and the training has to be done by well qualified instructors, in modern, well equipped training facilities. In addition, globally competitive technical teachers need to have comprehensive technical and pedagogical training. Based on the theory-practice interaction and the parallel technical and teacher training models, this paper explores what a globally competitive technical teacher training should be and the extent to which technical teachers in Uganda are globally competitive. |
