| Summary: | Abstract This chapter begins with an overview of the 150-year history of teacher education in the Faroe Islands. The quality of the current teacher education programme is assessed on the basis of five distinct indicators: (1) recruitment, (2) academicization, (3) pitfalls, (4) resilience and (5) competence. These five gauges are often assessed separately in teacher education research; however, to gain an adequate understanding of the quality and relevance of teacher education in the twenty-first century, they must be examined together. Finally, the article reflects on the future of teacher education in the Faroe Islands. |
