Abstract

The article deals with teachers and teacher education from the perspective of broad policy frames, of how these frames are enacted in specific policies, including teacher career systems as well as pre-service and continuing teacher education, and how they appear in a diversity of international contexts. New Public Management and Accountability teacher policies are critically discussed in the light of their contemporary prevalence, using recent relevant research. Social justice and inclusion as a broad policy frame is examined in the light of immediate challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, migrant people, as well as by the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
