– “National Concept for Teacher Education (NCTE)2027-2035” for promoting the shift from traditional to future, green and digital-oriented teacher training curricula and methods will be developed that will put effort to modernize teacher education at national levels promoting the shift from traditional to future, green and digital oriented teacher training curricula and methods.
– Capacities of national and institutional administrators, decision-makers, lecturers and researchers will be built to transform teacher education policy and programs towards attainment of the national goals of general education, green and digital transition.
