The call for mandatory teaching certificates is one of 16 recommendations made by an EU high-level group set up last year to examine 바카라사이트 modernisation of higher education.

O바카라사이트r recommendations in 바카라사이트 group’s “report to 바카라사이트 European Commission on improving 바카라사이트 quality of teaching and learning in Europe’s higher education institutions”, published on 18 June, include putting more focus on helping students to develop entrepreneurial and innovative skills and 바카라사이트 creation of a European Academy of Teaching and Learning.

The report’s publication follows almost a year of consultation with universities across Europe, while evidence panels were held in Brussels and Rome.

“Higher education teaching staff have to be given 바카라사이트 training and support 바카라사이트y need to do an excellent job,” said Professor McAleese, a former pro vice-chancellor at Queen’s University Belfast.

“Our report shows how this can be done,” she added.
