This article discusses the nature of teaching and highlights new ways to think about a conceptual framework to promote a better teacher education program. The article compares several countries to show the different ideas that each country has come up with to find a common ground on how the education systems should choose the future of educators.

I will also explain that by challenging the students instead of teaching exactly to the test would be a better measure of a student’s achievement than relying solely on standardised
