The OSCE launches free e-course on strengthening teacher competencies for inclusive and quality education

The OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina launched, on 19 April 2021, an e-learning course on Strengthening Teacher Competencies for Inclusive and Quality Education for teachers, teacher faculty students, as future teachers, and other interested education professionals. The course is accessible free of charge at https://nastavnickekompetencije.ba/.

University professors developed this course based on the Modules for the training in the field of inclusive education (UNICEF, 2015). Aimed at contributing to improving inclusivity and quality of the teaching process, the course focuses on strengthening competencies of teachers in primary and secondary schools, teaching faculties’ students, and other education professionals by providing them with an insight into an array of inclusive and non-discriminatory policies and practices.

The online course provides an overview of the basic settings of inclusive quality education and advice for its implementation in the classroom. After successful completion of the online course, participants will receive a certificate.

This course is part of the OSCE Mission to BiH activities and initiatives aimed at improving the inclusivity and quality of education in BiH through strengthening co-operation between teaching faculties and education authorities and institutions, in order to create systemic preconditions to continued professional development of teachers for inclusive and non-discriminatory education.
