The National Professional Diploma in Education is an example of constructive cooperation between the government, social partners, NGOs and higher education institutions for the delivery of quality public education. This national teacher-training exercise yielded many success — and also difficulties.

"Teacher education is in crisis, both in terms of quality and in terms of quantity. The current measures to address the crisis are not adequate, because they are solutions that are not attuned to our context." Tessa Welch describes an alternative model for teacher-training that could solve a lot of education problems.
