This initiative focuses on enhancing teacher education in Bosnia and Herzegovina through the establishment of a mentor network nationwide. The aim of the project was to train trainers, thereby creating a framework to effectively disseminate innovative ideas and methodologies to educators. The training seminars were collaboratively facilitated by European experts and local counterparts, fostering a dynamic exchange of knowledge and expertise. The mentors received training to share their expertise and abilities with fellow teachers, inspectors, advisors and school administrators. The objective is to establish a mentor network throughout the nation, serving as a foundation upon which the forthcoming educational reforms in the country could be constructed.
The impact of the good practice was multifaceted. The VET educators were able to improve their professional skills and competences based on shared expertise in network of VET mentors. Moreover, based on the improved professional expertise, the quality of VET in Bosna and Hertzegovina improved and as a result the learners in this sector also were able to have qualified trainings and support during their learning.
This practice is applicable directly in VET and is also transferable to other teachers.
