This publication discusses vocational teacher education (VTE) in Ukraine, emphasizing institutional, organizational, and governance aspects. It also explores VTE challenges and good practices in other countries within and outside Europe.

This anthology deals with vocational teacher education in Ukraine, which is a country facing many social and economic challenges. It is a result of the Erasmus+ project “Improving teacher education for applied learning in the field of VET (ITE-VET)”, a capacity building project focussing on Ukraine (2016–2018). The project came up with the following issues which were defined as “working packages” in the context of the EU project guidelines. These issues also represent the major contents and arguments in the chapters of this book: • Ukrainian VET teacher education and VET system and analysis of their needs • Didactical input from EU countries on modern teaching • Revision of course programmes and curricula • Implementation of new forms of practice-orientation.
