Abstract of Study

“ A Suggested System for Primary

Stage Teacher Education, A Comparative Study

Dr Ahmed El-Zeki

Introduction :

          In the last decade , the issues of teacher education and teacher professionalization have become of prime concern to policy makers within and outside the teaching profession , all over the world . In the USA alone , three important commissions submitted their recommendations for change and reforms in teacher education since 1985 : the national commission for Excellence ( 1985) , the Carnegie Task Force on Teaching as a Profession
( 1986 ) , and the Holmes Group ( 1986 ) . In England and Wales , the Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education was established in 1983 to monitor the quality of Teacher training within colleges of higher education and university departments of education .

          In Egypt , several committees were formed and a lot of conferences were held to promote teacher education and training . One of those was “ The National Conference for Developing Teacher Education ,His Training and His Welfare “ , headed by Mrs . Mubarak .

          Such great care for teachers arises from the fact that the quality of the educational system as a whole depends basically on the quality of the teacher who is going to carry out the educational plans . In short , if we want to give our young people the best education possible , we must first provide the best education and training to those who will teach them .

Statement of the problem :

          Being about to witness a new century laden with regional and international challenges , Egypt is in a bad need of preparing its teacher – especially primary stage teacher in a way that enables the new generation to advance , in order to to find themselves the front position in a world where the survival is only for the best . In this way , the problem of study can be stated in the following main question :

          What is the suggested system for primary stage teacher education in Egypt in the light of the preparation system in the two countries of comparison ?

          Out of this main question arise the following minor question :

1-     What are the sides of the present system for primary stage teacher education in Egypt in terms of reality and problems ?

2-     What are the sides of the primary stage teacher education system
in Israel ?

3-      What are the sides of the primary stage teacher education system
in Japan ?
