The publication provides information and analyzes certain problems in the education and training of technical and vocational teachers, and suggests various general guidelines for developing countries. The study reflects present trends and possible directions in these countries in two major areas: institutional structures and organization of programs and their content. Not intended as a descriptive reference work, the study takes a comparative approach within each topic considered, utilizing case studies of selected industrialized and developing countries selected by the quality of available documentation. A wide variety of programs, institutions, and curricula are examined; although no one system may be held up as a universal model, the survey provides ideas and models which may be adapted. Among conclusions drawn are these: (1) the present clear trend toward 4 years of postsecondary studies as a prerequisite for secondary teacher qualification is to be encouraged; (2) short pedagogical and inservice courses for those with technical qualifications can provide flexibility and variety in teacher qualification programs; (3) continuing education for teachers should be encouraged; and (4) efforts to raise the salaries and status of teachers must be made.
