The Subregional Information Centre is created as a network of cooperation and partnership for sharing succesful experiences and good practices in the sphere of pre- and in-service teacher training through new models and technologies.
It is based on the main aims related to quality education for all, determined at the World education forum in Dakar (Senegal, 2000) and takes into consideration UNESCO’s role in developing national policies in this area.
This website is regularly enriched with the summarised materials (scientific products, legal documents, national projects, etc.) submitted in English by the coordinators for the different countries.
Courses, seminars, schools and other training events for teachers of various school subjects and school leaders are organised under the initiative of the different countries. These events focus on introducing new teaching and management methods.
Cooperation with UNESCO, EU and other international and national public and non-governmental organisations continues in order to provide the necessary funding for the activity of the Subregional Centre for Teacher Education and Training.
The Department of Information and In-service Training of Teachers at Sofia University hosts bi-lateral and multi-lateral public meetings for trainers from the participating countries devoted to the discussion of quality training activities; public meetings for teachers aimed at introducing good pedagogical practices, for UNESO-affiliated teachers and other schools with UNESCO representatives and other international organisations aimed at disseminating international projects and programmes for mutual familiarisation and joint activities, or for familiarisation with legal documents, etc.
The effective management of the Subregional Centre for Teacher Education and Training is executed by a Council of Coordinators based in Sofia at the following address: 224 "Tsar Boris III" blvd - Department of Information and In-service Training of Teachers
