lpv:translated text	"The development of information and communication technologies is currently imposing greater demands upon the teaching profession since the educational environment is becoming more and more complex and varied. I voted for Mrs Badia i Cutchet’s report which deals with the Commission’s communication entitled ‘Improving the Quality of Teacher Education’. The communication assesses the current situation in the EU as regards the education and training of teachers. The report reflects upon the various options in EU Member States. Within the Union, there are more than 27 different teacher training systems, but the challenges facing teachers are essentially common to all Member States. Teachers are required to have a quality of teacher training which has a direct effect not only on pupils’ level of knowledge but also on the formation of their personalities, particularly during the first years of their school experience. Teachers are also subjected to enormous mental stress, leaving them little energy for self-education. In the past, teaching was a respected and valued profession. Today, the teaching profession is not attractive. Teachers, most of whom are women, do not enjoy the corresponding level of social recognition, status and, above all, remuneration. For example, in my country, Slovakia, teachers’ pay is way below the national average. I believe that the report will attract the attention of Member States, ensuring that the teaching profession is properly appreciated."@en1
