摘要

众所周知，质量和积极的学校成果取决于教师的能力、敏感性和动机，这些总和为教师质量。教师在塑造社会方面所起的作用 要求政府必须将培训教师作为首要任务。关于档案材料的相关性，该研究主要依靠观察和二手数据来源，对加纳教师培训进行内容分析。这 项研究确定了有助于提高教师质量的各种因素，最终提高了教育质量。其中包括教师教育的质量保证、教师的初步培训、部署流程、专业成 长、薪酬以及确保标准和合规性的监管机构。文章还发现，师资教育投入低、允许非专业毕业生任教、生活和工作条件差，阻碍了教师到农 村和贫困地区任职；缺乏对专业发展的定期和持续培训以及教师缺乏动力是基础学校教育质量低下的部分原因。研究提出教师必须严格只接 受教育机构培训，通过能力倾向测试招聘教师，加强课程改革，提高教师的批判性思维能力，定期开展教师发展培训，激发那些接受派驻农 村的教师的积极性。
