Transforming Teacher Education in the West Bank and Gaza
Andy Burke, member of the Institute of Education's Educational Disadvantage Centre, is lead author of a recently published report for the World Bank, Transforming Teacher Education in the West Bank and Gaza : Policy Implications for Developing Countries.
This is a policy-related review of an eleven-year (2008-2019) teacher education reform project in the West Bank and Gaza in which Andy Burke was involved from beginning to end. The report has just been published by the World Bank in its Policy Research Working Paper series.
The model of teacher education reform developed with their Palestinian colleagues is viewed as having potential for significant impact in other developing countries. It is already being adopted for implementation in The Gambia and Zambia.
