Partnership-Based Governance and Standardization of Vocational Teacher Education in Ukraine

This publication addresses the pressing issues of vocational teacher education (VTE), focusing on institutional, organizational and governance aspects.



Firstly, it summarizes the results of the four-year Erasmus+ capacity-building project "New Mechanisms of Partnership-based Governance and Standardization of Vocational Teacher Education in Ukraine" (PAGOSTE), funded by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency. The project's focus has been governance in VTE in Ukraine. Secondly, it goes beyond the narrow project context and explores challenges as well as good practices in VTE systems of other countries in and outside of Europe.



Therefore, contributions from England, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland complement the Ukrainian context and provide readers with a more comprehensive understanding of VTE systems.



Thomas Deissinger, Professor of Business and Economics Education at the University of Konstanz, specializes in the history of vocational education and training (VET), VET policy, and comparative VET, including two EU projects on VET teacher education.



Oksana Melnyk is a postdoc researcher at the University of Konstanz. She specializes in changes in vocational education systems, international cooperation in vocational education and training, and vocational teacher training.
