To give a first impression of the current situation of teacher education and training (TE) in Europe, let me introduce the article on "Teacher Education in Europe" by two quotations from well-known experts in the field and by a comment on the importance of teacher education frequently made by experts as well as (education) politicians: (a) The teacher education systems are almost all undergoing change of some kind at this time, undirected in any international sense but with some identifiably common trends. It is a period of great fluidity, with many difficulties for those engaged in the work but interesting too, and the factors responsible for change are tending to operate in similar, if not exactly the same, directions (Bone 1992, p. 61).
