Good teaching has a major influence on the quality of education and student performance. Therefore, it is important that teachers are well supported, that they have sufficient opportunities for further training, and that national frameworks exist to safeguard the quality of teachers.

The ISO recognizes the value of the BKO . The ISO also keeps a close eye on the use of student teachers in education: this offers an opportunity for both the quality of education and the development of students, but sufficient attention must be paid to proper supervision and qualification so that students do not suffer as a result.

Appreciation of education is incredibly important. To put teachers in the spotlight, the ISO organizes the Teacher of the Year election. View the Teacher of the Year election here , organized in collaboration with the Comenius Network and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW).
