The Teacher Education Programme series, published by the HSRC Press, has as its overall goal to “contribute to the knowledge and information base for policy formulation and implementation regarding the organisation and practice of teacher education”.

At the Cape Town Book Fair 2009, as part of the public programme of events, teachers and teacher education was discussed by a panel of HSRC researchers working in this area. The discussion that ensued was chaired by Professor Peter Kallaway. Listen to the various viewpoints in this four part HSRC Press podcast package:
